America’s middle class and working class people have worshiped at the altar of the free market faith, have filled the plate many times over and have given at the office as well — big time. Thirty years of seeing the pie get bigger while their share stays the same or shrinks, except for a brief breather during the Clinton years, has caused most Americans to rethink the realities of their situation and political choices.

Or, as one right-wing Republican was overheard saying to another recently, “The flim-flam’s not working; now what do we do?”

How so very modern, Mark. When are we going to get our Little Red Books?

It’s become abundantly clear that American voters disagree. To some extent, they’ve always disagrees, it’s just that the Republican Party has conned them into voting “values” rather than pocketbook in recent election cycles. The tide is changing, and the more people like you tell the public that they’re clueless chuckleheads for doubting the infallibility of the lawless free market, the further marginalized your antiquated worldview will become.
