[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The working class in general are turned into political scapegoats.[/b] One side says the white poor are stupid racists and never vote their interests. The other side says Hispanics are all illegal and stealing all our jobs and blacks are lazy government mooches. It's often asked why do working class whites vote Republican? Clinton gutted welfare, supported NAFTA which shipped away good paying working class jobs, and drove mass incarceration. Why do working class blacks support the Clintons? I can't fully answer these questions. But  I suspect a part of the reason why working class voters are loyal to particular candidates and parties is because institutions such as churches and radio shows help to keep them in line, mad at the so called enemy and looking for a savior in one of the two main parties.[/quote]

This.  I feel like both parties have taken a "divide and conquer" approach.  Divide the working class/middle class along racial lines so their ire is directed at each other and it takes the attention off of the combined political/wealthy/corporate class.
