Why the Democratic Party Has Abandoned the Middle Class in Favor of the Rich

American politicians don't care much about voters with moderate incomes.

Princeton political scientist Larry Bartels studied the voting behavior of US senators in the early '90s and discovered that they respond far more to the desires of high-income groups than to anyone else.

By itself, that's not a surprise.

He also found that repugicans do not respond at all to the desires of voters with modest incomes.

Maybe that's not a surprise, either.
