i think the oligarchy and its handpuppets (dems, repubs, et al) don't really care what the other 90% of the country says, feels, does, etc. ryan advances extreme ideas, and the "other side" makes concessions, and the goal posts move further to the "haves". beware of the "moderates"; they're just as worrisome as the 'extremists".
