That is great summary of the 2 parties in the US. You got better insight than all the mudslingers in the Politics section. The Democrats morphed into a party of upper middle class & wealthy after loss of Carter and the rise of Clinton and the DLC. They completely abandoned the working class in the midwest & south. I noticed the northeast democrats are obsessed with getting back the SALT deductions so the upper middle class can go back to buying McMansions. The GOP is a disaster as well with their strange pandering to the religious right. I mean the abortion genie has been out of the bottle for decades.
