You have made similar comments before about republicans failing in their promises of 2010 and 2014. I'm not challenging your statement, and I'm not sure I understand it correctly.  The beginning of this long cycle of making the rich richer and the plundering of the commonwealth began under Reagan. He began the dismantling of the FDR New Deal policies, a period of greater economic egalitarianism than had existed for decades, maybe forever.

What Reagan began has been enhanced by every republican politician since, leading us to where we are; a ridiculously small number of individuals in possession of an obscene amount of wealth, and a hurting and angry populace.  We are totally justified in being so. For a long time now much has been written about working class republicans consistently voting against their own interests, which I agree occurs unfailingly. This pattern of betrayal didn't begin in 2010, it began in 1980.  I guess my question, is why were 2010 and 2014 different for you?
