Fair enough. I don't really buy into the conclusion that people are going to willingly remain poor, though. It isn't so great.

There are all kinds of reasons for the decline in socio-economic mobility in this country. The ACA isn't going to change that much. If some people choose to work less, for whatever reason, unless there is a decline in the demand for labor those labor hours are going to be filled by someone else. So I am not seeing the downside here. If unemployment gets low enough, then wages get raised to attract employees. We saw that happen in the 1990s.

And yes, both parties have been bought. One difference though, the Democrats at least occasionally tries to do something for the middle class and not just the 1%. The Republicans don't even try.

This won't change until we get money out of elections. And it may already be too late. On the plus side, Rome didn't reach its height until it was a dictatorship...
