It makes perfect sense.
Whenever some tard, especially some tard who makes under $100,000 a year bitches about the capital gains tax or the estate tax, most of them think that by helping out their rich buddies at the top, that soon those crumbs from the gilded table will start showering over them. That the Koch Brothers will stop by personally at Buttfuck, Idaho and tell some tea party redneck "Thanks for your contribution to remove the capital gains tax! Here's your $200,000 a year job starting today!" A lot of these people think that only them and the millionaires and billionaires work hard. They're like best friends, working hard to fight Shaniqua the welfare queen and Aydan, the upper middle class hipster type with a tendency for book larnin'.
That is why that truth-out.org article I think gets it wrong. Most people voted in these shitbags like Allen West or Michele Bachmann because most people think that by fervently supporting the upper class, that they will get rewarded. If not, then at least those welfare distinguished black fellows get a smaller piece of the pie. If they can't be rich, they'd sooner just shit all over the rest of the population so everyone else can have it bad as them. The GOP lunatics were voted in and it isn't like people were deceived; no, people voted in droves for these cocksuckers. There is no deception involved and I'm sure the fools that voted in these teabagger clowns are loving every second of how this Congress has turned out. There are a lot of people on the far right that know just how to play off of the general seething hatred that has been bubbling for a while.
I don't really see a solution either. I think angry people are going to stay angry, regardless of the demographic shift. Combine that with a largely deferential, nay, spineless leadership of the opposition, and it's bad news for the rest of us.
