Well no shit, when politicians are only aiming to keep the rich richer so that they can get that sweet campaign "donation" and the campaign finance laws are so lax now that nearly all PACs are 503c shells which don't have to disclose any donor info this is the sort of mess we get. And yes, the Democratic Party definitely has part of the blame as well as they introduced mass-deregulation of Wall Street (and hey, a whole bunch of Dem senators just voted to roll back what little protection was in place since the last financial crisis). There is a party for the rich that campaign on one side for social issues which have no impact on the economy and there is a party for the rich that campaign on the other side of social issues which have no impact on the economy. What a farce American politics is.
