But Republicans cannot go on indefinitely giving rich people tax breaks. Republicans have the upper hand here they have the support of big money and a clear majority of white men and the women in their purview. Meritocratic plutocracy movie#Remember that scene at the dinner table of the movie Saturday Night Fever? “Everyone accepts being dumped on so long he or she has somebody else to dump on. In India, when a political party promises to maintain hierarchies of poor Hindus over Muslims, it gets votes. When a leader like Trump promises to maintain white superiority over blacks and Latinos, he gets votes. In their turn, they try to maintain these hierarchies. In truth, in the United States, ordinary people also have their own hierarchy: for example, white as opposed to black, “American” as opposed to Latino.
