Working for the Rich

Andrew Koppelman: The Professional Utopians: On J. Bradford DeLong’s “Slouching Towards Utopia”

During the New Deal, one mill worker declared: “Mr. Roosevelt is the only man we ever had in the White House who would understand that my boss is a son-of-a-bitch.” Today, many of those workers vote for Republicans—politicians who work for that man’s boss.

I really wish people would stop saying this. Generally, Corporate Ds work for that man's boss too.

You have to move pretty far left to find a D who's working harder for workers than their boss. 

It's one reason so many people voted to have Trump drain the swamp. 

Republicans ... working for rich bosses while telling workers it's  "those people" who are really hurting them.

Democrats ... working for rich bosses while telling workers it's "those other rich people" who are really hurting them.
