Fantastic prejudices.

Let's just go with this:
Which person gave jobs to middle-class and poor people in Michigan, the unions....or the "wealthy" Wall-Street people? The unions only eliminated the poor's opportunities to gain employment (that's a hint).

Yes, the illogical would assume that. (the pro-middle and lower classes) In practice, mitigation of the free-market results in suppression of the middle and lower classes further pushing them down. Ultimately, they have the same economic ambitions the Republicans do. (Look at Al Gore and the money he's making off global warming)

An example of what I'm talking about above.

When the branches are split, nothing gets done.
Thank God. The point of government is not to figure out how to make it work, but how to make it stop.

Quote:
Example: Health Care Reform would not pass without a Democratic House, Senate and President.
But how else could the current government compound its anti-poor agenda?

I still would be interested in what you perceive to be the most powerful branch.
