Both parties are in the hands of corporatists whose only loyalty is to profits at the expense of the common good.
The democrats known only too well that the more they hand out welfare and goodies to the peons the greater the chance that they will establish a permanent constituency. The welfare serves only one purpose, to keep the lower classes poor and the ruling class in power. Latin America is a failure for precisely this reason. Argentina has been sliding downhill since Juan Peron established the welfare state in 1948. Like addicted heroin addicts they can't see that their addiction to the welfare state is progressively relegating them to the dark ages. This last batch of migrants are bringing this failed mentality and mindset to this country and the radical left couldn't be happier.
We are following them on the same path and we do so at our peril. In twenty years the US will be relegated to a third world country if we continue to export our jobs and technology abroad. High tech was supposed to be the next stage in our economic development. Now we are exporting those jobs as well to China and India. We have already started exporting white collar middle level management jobs that can be done electronically via a world LAN. We will be left as Americans as over educated, underpaid, underemployed people competing for dish-washing jobs with illegal mexican aliens willing to work for less than the minimum wage.
That is unfortunately where the brave new world is leading us.
