The Victors are Spoiled

No one I know among working people is trying to deny the victors their spoils. Any resentment is directed downwards, at the urging of the rich, onto immigrants, the ill and people without jobs. On its face this tactic is suspect. It's a documented ploy of class warriors. They play the weaker groups off against one another, wrecking their morale.

Working people still think we're in it together but the wealthy don't care about them. The ruling class would rather destroy the working person's share than see them get their hands on it--the most telling evidence against them. Iraq and Afghanistan are examples. The Great Recession is an example. Military spending is an example. Trump-care is an example. 

Everything Paul Ryan does is an example. The ruling class, the victors, are spoiled. They have had it too easy and take too much for granted. Social theorists of varying dispositions say that this is the end of a country, the loss of its social contract. Our individualistic society is degenerating into an untenable war among classes. Thank Republicans for that.
