So the party with the biggest hand outs always gets the advantage but when the country is broke, you're essentially voting for the party more likely to bankrupt the country. Then its a big downward spiral into disaster. I always thought that voters should have to have some minimal level of education and gain the qualification to vote.
Then you have a system that can actually work for the betterment of society but of course the very low classes wont like that because they're too dumb to actually know that they're dumb and part of the problem.

and which party is more likely to bankrupt the country? The ones who encourage Wall Street to run wild and get us into needless, endless, expensive wars?
The last two times the economy has been good, it was because a democratic administration took over after a Republican fucked it up. Now the economy is primed to have another conservative come in and do it all over again with "trickle down economics" --- which never works, except for the ones in power.
