    This made me smile, old_tony. :)

    And of course, my answer is BOTH parties are all about creating more rich people and keeping the worker bees divided.

    Like I said this morning: The fun has ended.

    Have fun, guys.

    The democrat primary is rigged. Even though Hillary was demolished, she won more delegates because the dems have superdelegates that are not beholden to the popular vote. Sanders won of the regular delegates but Hillary already has 10X the number of delegates as Sanders.

    Off the top of my head:

    The EPA
    Title IX
    No Child Left Behind (certainly didn't work, but it was designed to help middle/poor class)
    1960 Civil Rights Act
    AIDs Relief to Africa

    That's the 2008 argument all over again. Hillary was going to win because all the superdelegates were going to vote for her, no matter what Obama did in the popular vote. It was b.s. then and it's b.s. now.

    You're forgetting the question. By "designed to help the poor and middle class," Baron means "designed not to help anybody but the poor and middle class."

    Rich people breathe clean air too, so that's a non-starter.

    So Baron have never been a political reporter or been to a local precinct meeting? Color me shocked.

    I was a respected political reporter in my time, and have received many a PM complimenting my work.

    I'm expecting iOS alerts announcing she's withdrawing any second, now.

    The standard that I've set for this discussion is in the last 25-30 years, which, while I've mentioned it quite a few times, I'll admit that I don't mention it every single time when I remind those who refuse to answer. Before that, there had been some semblance of partisanship, until the GOP melted down because Clinton had the audacity to be elected president.

    I'll give you NCLB and AIDS Relief. So there's two. And I appreciate that you actually did try to answer, unlike certain other posters.

    Actually, I have covered some politics, and been to local meetings. In my first job, two of the local village board members were brothers, and in opposite parties. They both laughed when I asked how they managed to do that and they said they had some fun dinner table conversations.
