“Republicans are stealing your money”
Posted By katie allison granju
That’s the thesis here:
Contrary to conventional wisdom, Democratic administrations are just as beneficial to high income families as are the Republicans. What happens under Republican rule is that everyone who is not in the highest income bracket suffers from diminished income growth and, as the uppermost chart shows, that income is shifted to the pockets of the top 1%.
From a gross income economic standpoint, almost everyone does better over time with Democratic governance. What Republicans have been successful at electorally is driving people to vote against their own economic interests in subjugation to fear and bigotry, while lying about the economic theft. The MSM are probably correct to treat the general populace as largely unable to follow discussions of technical “down in the weeds” policy, and perhaps progressive political bloggers should – to some degree – follow suit.
A presidential campaign focused on the clear truth that “Republicans Are Stealing Your Money” may be the beat approach to getting voter’ attention.

I can only hope the DP tries to sell that as a platform on which to base victory. Apparently, “gross standpoint” does not correlate to marginal tax cuts and real income.
