Thomas Frank says that whatever disadvantaged Americans think they are voting for, they get something quite different:From Peggy.
"You vote to strike a blow against elitism and you receive a social order in which wealth is more concentrated than ever before in our life times, workers have been stripped of power, and CEOs are rewarded in a manner that is beyond imagining.
"It's like a French Revolution in reverse in which the workers come pouring down the street screaming more power to the aristocracy."

Agreed! Someone (I believe Andrew Sullivan) suggested asking the Tea Party crazies a simple question: "Do you agree that you should never get another raise during your entire life?" As health costs go up, there's less money for raises. Those folks who scream that we should leave the system alone are essentially foregoing any future increases in pay from their employees in favor of the status quo: a health care system gone insane.
