For an excellent book on basically this topic from an economic historian I recommend Rulers, Religion, and Riches: Why the West Got Rich and the Middle East Did Not

The Middle East started off with more advancements in science, math, technology, trade, military, finance, and higher populations etc than Europe. Simply put Europe was a shithole.

Both Europe and the Middle East had similar bans/limitations on usury, religion played similarly large roles to both peoples.

So why was there a vast reversal of fortune by the 1600s? The book tries to answer this question and it's very good.

Check out the book, "Freakonomics" by Levitt & Dubner. Fascinating chapter on it, and other things related. Great read.

93% of blacks vote Democrat. 7% of a small minority of the total US population vote either Republican or 3rd party, mostly Republican. Blacks are well represented in the GOP all things considered.

Here are a few others.

Michael Steele, the first black leader of the RNC.

Jason Reilly, Wall Street Journal editorial board member and author of Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed

Allen West was a one term Congressman from Florida and the first black Republican Congressman from FL since Reconstruction. This man is hugely popular with the supposedly racist "tea party" wing of the party. For the record, I am not a tea partier.

Another great read.

They were intentionally created with the word "Federal" in them so people would think the government was running them.

EDIT: Anyone who wants to know more should read "The Creature From Jekyll Island" It is an in-depth exploration of the creation of The Federal Reserve, and is eye opening.

I read this book a few months back. The author is criticized for his little experiment, but his personal experience aside, he does point out how the experiences of people he met as an "undercover poor person" differed—and they differed, largely, based on the choices the individuals made. So, it would seem like there are some working poor who do adapt, and manage to better their situation. What they do isn't magic; what they do is defer gratification.

What you describe is basically the point of Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickel and Dimed. I've read a good portion of that book. The people in it are sympathetic, but many of them make bad choices as well.

As an European I know exactly what left and right mean as opposed to the Americans who call "liberals" Big Govt supporters.

Yes, Reagan was a neocon. The last true republican was Goldwater.

The (true) Reps opposed every single foreign intervention (all the wars up to the Gulf war were started or joined by the lefties), supported the blacks rights (as opposed to the Dems who voted against the Civil Rights in the Congress) and were very much against the corporations.

The corporatism was introduced by FDR
