"The wealthy, not only by private fraud but also by common laws, do every day pluck and snatch away from the people some part of their daily living. Therefore, when I consider and weigh in my mind these commonwealths which nowadays do flourish, I perceive nothing but a certain conspiracy of rich men in procuring their own commodities under the name and authority of the commonwealth.
They invent and devise all means and crafts, first how to keep safely without fear of losing that which they have unjustly gathered together, and next how to hire and abuse the work and labor of the people for as little money and effort as possible."
Thomas More, Utopia

It is amazing (perhaps not) the politicians of both parties have allowed it to get this far. No doubt the rich will win out in the long run, they always do.

Only if we give up. There is nothing that says the outcome of this class war is certain. The first step is the awareness that we are indeed witnessing a form of class warfare and then organize against the priorities of its sponsors. At minimum we should withdraw any and all support for the thoroughly compromised Democratic party for to do otherwise sustains the fiction that it represents an alternative to the GOP. The current attack on the working class and what remains of the middle class is a bipartisan affair which has to be acknowledged then acted upon.
Liberals will always back the Democratic Party and not back third party. True progressives will back a third party. False progressives like Nancy Pelosi will always look to the interests iof the rich.

Not that it really matters but an example or two would go a long way in making some sense of your post.
