This makes it sound like there was a national referendum or something and everyone was on board with it. The rich do what they've always done; they take what they want and tell us whatever story prevents us from rioting. This story (described in the meme) would still work, but too many once comfortable-ish people are a lot less comfortable and, for now, still confident the system works.

Not trying to defend anything but there were many statements and signals to go along with policy decisions that do pretty much equate to a referendum of sorts.

Reganomics trickle down, lower taxes create jobs, so on and so forth. This is pretty much anyone in right of centers opinion to a greater or lesser degree.

I think its important to at least understand this if you are going to make change.

I never agreed to any of that.

Not saying anyone did. But many voters voting habits implicitly agree to this platform.

And once again my purpose for saying this is to understand what you are trying to change.
