Where's the OWS threads?

I appreciate that guys, but I'm looking for some finger pointing and name naming.

Like how anyone who works for a living, most likely for less than a living wage, could vote against their best interests, particularly for a party that has allowed this financial situation to occur and support corporate take over of our government, simply because it allegedly espouses pro-WASP virtues like family values, prayer in schools, anti-welfare, anti-gay, anti-abortion, etc, etc.

So, 3LB, which Party has allowed this situation? Deregulation has been furthered by both US parties, but one in particular since, uhmm, the Reagan administration, (your first clue).

Why would a person vote agains his/her own best interests? Well because he/she doesnt actually know where his/her best interests actually lie.

Joe Sixpack knows all about Bible, (albeit second hand from some semi-educated pastor), that the poor are all listless bums, that universal health care is "socialism", homosexuality is a choice, America has never lost a war. He's convinced that global warming is a leftist plot, dinosaurs & man lived together, and that the earth is only 6000 years old. He's familiar with every nuance of American Exceptionalism, (from e.g. Texas textbooks that distort history). But the only thing he knows about macroeconomics is that it too is a leftist plot because Glenn Beck told his so. So how the hell is he supposed to know where his self-interest really lies?
