Your comment is written like the lyrics to an anthemic song. Very nice.

Thomas Jefferson

When they lose their healthcare, then they’ll see.
When they lose their job, then they’ll see.
When a healthcare crisis looms and they need to declare bankruptcy, then they’ll see.
When their home goes into foreclosure, then they’ll see.
When the bridge collapses under their commute, then they’ll see.
When their sons or daughters need a same sex civil union, then they’ll see.
When they are disenfranchised, then they’ll see.
When they are sickened by tainted food, then they’ll see.
When they get hurt at work in a way that could have been prevented, then they’ll see.
When their favorite outdoor getaway is polluted, then they’ll see.
When they need to unionize, then they’ll see.
When they have to explain the extinction of a species to their child, then they’ll see.
When it’s their son, beaten and left to hang alone on a fence, then they’ll see.
When their daughters face an unwanted pregnancy, then they’ll see.
When their sons are killed on foreign soil, then they’ll see.

Who am I kidding?…

I fully expect my format here in this comment to be tossed back in my face. A laundry list of items that liberals cherish that will cost too much money. Conservatives don’t see the American Dream as something that if strengthened, can GIVE us all more opportunity. They only seem to see the opportunities to keep anyone else from TAKING what they already have. That’s another thing conservatives never get. It’s just money. We’ll make more…

You sound like a very typical troll.

Explain what track record of success the Republican party has had that validates your partisan, spin room arguments.

As noted upthread, only 5% of mortgages were sub-prime, while 42% were non-homestead (second properties) This is not the fault of the poor, but rather speculating and over-reaching upper middle class (top quintile earners) getting in over their heads.
