Prolly 'cause there aren't enough WORKING MEN around anymore to make it worth while going after those votes. Especially in the big urban areas where the population is concentrated
no, there's plenty of working people, working poor, working middle class, etc... they are sold a huge lie by the politicians and their financial backers, and they keep buying it, again and again and again regardless of how irrelevant it is to their actual lives.
Yes.... without a middle-class, well, look at history, it does not bode well, when society crumbles.
Special interest is just that, governing to a segment of a society, instead of the whole.....
Be it wealthy, race based, gender, or whatever, it divides and fragments, weakening the whole lot.
We are only as strong, as our weakest member, that is a testament to our society.
