The Way Forward

the wealthy are not the problem, just a problem.

To simplify problems by pointing to one group of people as the reason for someone's problems gives those feeling marginalized an anger vent, but realistically doesn't solve anything. People want tangible solutions that they can participate in themselves at the local level. The apparition of a 'scary billionaire' is at best saved for campfire stories hosted by Bernie.

We're hemmoraging voters precisely because we're looking at problems from what is too simplistic of a view ('the wealthy CREATE social issues to divide'). Pretty sure they're too busy making a buck to really focus on (or care) whether the government is funding school lunch programs.
