Extraction of wealth.

[edhopper]

It's what Dylan Ratigan was screaming about yesterday.
The rich and the corporations have for the last 40 years have been extracting wealth from the workers, the middle class, the poor and the public sector and consolidating it in a very few greedy, grimy, clutching hands.
Can this message have any resonance with the voters?

1. It resonates with this voter.

2. Lots of charts show the flow going up up up

while workers wages stagnate. But y'know the gop has sold their voters on the idea that we need to make the rich richer giving them tax breaks and incentives, allowing them to hide their money in offshore accounts, etc so they have more money to hire us. Sounds like a hostage situation to me, but what do I know?

4. Worst case of Stockholm Syndrome ever.

Not only are many voters hostages to this ridiculous theory, but these same middle-class voters actually think that the GOP is on their side!
A mass-Stockholm Syndrome if I ever seen one!

3. Best articulation I've heard yet. Bulging neck veins included. Ratigan 2012.

5. And the Dems refuse to point this out or

make it an issue. Instead Obama and the Dem Leadership buy into it.
So we have no one with real power on our side.
