That was the key to creating "Reagan democrats"- convince working class people that they are getting screwed by the poor and not by the rich. Of course it's a pretty easy sell. The reason you aren't getting ahead in because half the country are lazy and because you aren't, you're a sucker, being played for a fool by the Democrats and their "welfare state". Of course the reason you don't happen to see this 50% unemployment where you live is because they are all in horrible scary inner cities. But trust us, they are there, and they are all laughing at you (oh and they're all black). Working class white people have been falling for that shit for decades.
