The Ryan problem.
" a proposal to deny health care (and many other essentials) to millions of Americans, while lavishing tax cuts on corporations and the wealthy — all while failing to reduce the budget deficit, unless you believe in Mr. Ryan’s secret revenue sauce. "
Why is the middle attracted to Republican policies? Three reasons. There is a built in antipathy for those who are perceived as free riders and a contrived image of the rich as self driven success stories. In actuality the rich, skilled in economic combat, able to control more resource and with better access to corporate and government power is able to take advantage of more government largess than other. Second, there is the argument that redistribution, for whatever reason, is just not fair. Finally the are the wedge social issues of civil rights, women's rights, mental ill rights, gay rights and non christian rights. The battle has been portrayed as a zero sum game.
