The Dems are not exempt from this either but we will get to them later...
I'm going to stretch the 30 years a bit but you really have to include Reagan:

Sorry, Obama Fans: Reagan Did Better on Jobs and Growth - Forbes

As the above link points out, his job creation record is outstanding.

And as the article points out, more people have signed up for food stamps than have been added to the workforce under Obama.

First, what do you mean by "working" class? Don't we all work? I've been working for 45-years.

Yep, we all work and my life is fine as well.
But one of the talking points I always hear ALL the time is that ALL the American People are RESPONSIBLE for the government they get so minding our own business and worrying about our own selves is not going to CUT it.

It is all part of the partisan theatrics because the top donors are always the same in either election.

Big Wall Street Banks
Big Corporations

And the latest Bill gave more assured bailouts to banks and an increase in donations

Fascism

here is what they did, they forced unions out of industry bek they closed those industries and off shored them. then the unions did not die--- they moved into public sector big time. that is why cops teachers and firemen make good money and u flip burgers at mcdonalds. the reason that you are flipping burgers is bek you dont want to learn a trade and work in dubai. that is your bad. the factory jobs being gone is the work of the greedy unions and they are doing great.
the gop will proudly announce every month how many min wage employment at will with no benefits jobs are created every month. they will continue to hire illegals to build their houses and clean their yards and floors while their fat worthless shiftless aging sons sit on the couch watching cable tv.

I'll amend your statement a bit.

They invited China's labor force into our market economy to increase CEO and Investor Payouts and to reduce American Wages.

Since taxes are paid for by consumers and customers that are making less, there was no money to pay for the pensions, city taxes, and so on.

Corporate and Banking Lobbyists want to reap the benefits but not pay out of their own pockets from CEO and Investor Dividends and want everyone else to pay for it.
