No, it doesn't. Nothing about America is unregulated. Well, unless the product is brand new, but even then most likely it still falls under a few regulations.
If capitalism as it stands now with regulation is already having such a divide, the unregulated free market would be worse, and you can look back in American history to see how "great" it was before regulation.
Republicans appear to be determined to block any sort of efforts designed to help the middle class. For example they opposed this effort to allow students to refinance their student loans
GOP blocks Warren
They also have voiced opposition to Obama's plan to provide free community college and opposed extending unemployment insurance to unemployed Americans.
Are Republicans against helping the middle class?
More fear mongering statements coupled with paranoia.'
Wait, hold on, 17 million?
Employment Situation Summary
What have democrats been doing to destroy it? Republicans don't want tax cuts for the middle class, cheaper college... :roll:
Ok, what regulation do you have a problem with?
Do you honestly believe the government to give you honest figures about who is actually out of work?
But I get bored with one-liner insults and assigned talking points really quickly so I'll be moving on. I am pretty sure I can back up my numbers. Do have a nice day.

As just a quick example of what I'm talking about, the Uber controversy in New York shows the protectionist, corrupt nature of some regulations and how they hurt the citizens they purport to help. Fewer taxis at a higher rate, owned by massive medallion holding companies does literally the opposite of "regulating" the transportation for hire business in most cities while protecting the rich from competition.
I also have several beefs with major pieces of union regulation in this same vein.
Of course they are!
I happen to know that Ted Cruz, Scott Walker and Sarah Palin meet regularly to find new ways to screw the middle class, eliminate it all together.
and that's just the people we're watching! The back roomers have serious plans involving drones and oil pipelines, jobs only for rich people
You're saying unregulated capitalism results in a majority of the population being part of the powerful elite?

First of all you have made a distortion in that you say that the example was meant to suggest that Democrats are for the middle class. So right off the bat you have demonstrated bias. The next thing is that you are wrong when you suggest that the Democrats are mainly responsible for the conditions that have led to student loan debt being higher than credit card debt (if that is indeed true).
The thing is this, people should be able to refinance student loans to take advantage of lower interest rates. That is something that would provide much needed relief to the middle class. That Republicans oppose this and other such measures that would give the middle class some relief, demonstrates a pattern of behavior that is hostile to middle class interests.
:lamo: .. :thumbs: "In the latest breaking news, an anonymous spokesman for the back roomers confirmed that eliminating the middle class, who pay most of the taxes, is the best thing that could be done to get this Country back on the right track... Stay tuned for further developments on the absurd notion that working at a job is necessary for self esteem, and might be a good way to improve their lives...Speaking off the cuff here, I agree with those who find that laughable nonsense...."

They should lower the interest rates unless the interest rates are necessary to cover the cost of the program to the taxpayer. Or they should disband the program and let the private sector do it.

Most republicans are middle class, so you have to wonder what sort of lunacy it is that would cause people to believe that they want to screw themselves.
Humans can handle capitalism. But because men aren't angels, it must have restrictions and regulation, otherwise it naturally becomes predatory. And it's the restriction and regulation that the pro corporate GOP opposes.
I can see how you would believe that, what with all of your flamingly biased rhetoric aimed at Republicans. But think about this - had Sen. Warren really wanted interest relief for students, she wouldn't have hitched that horse to the "double the taxes on the wealthy" wagon. It would have been it's own standalone provision. Interest makes the government money, but it doesn't cost the government anything to lower the rate. Wouldn't it be a better idea to divorce the two - student loans and income generation - from each other within the government?
Her offer wasn't a real offer, nor more than if I offer to cut your grass for you one time, so long as you paint my house and repave my driveway first.
Uh, Iraq is over. Perhaps you haven't heard.
And I don't see that money magically appearing anywhere else with the stroke of a pen.
Not only was the cost of the war a very sore point for many Republicans
No. Republicans are for helping those who NEED help and ONLY those who need help. The fact is for things such as the free college education nothing is free somewhere we PAY for that.
The average length of unemployment increases commensurate to an increase in UI benefits. There is also a pronounced spike in rehiring of UI benefit claimants upon the termination of their benefits, i.e. their job search suddenly becomes more fruitful when benefits are about to expire.
Richard Lynn, emeritus professor of psychology at Ulster University carried out the research, which is published in the scientific journal Personality and Individual Differences.
113 nationalities were included in a study of average penis lengths.
Big
In the penis size league tables the Daily Mail reports that men from The Republic of the Congo take top position with a porn star like 7.1 inches, with the Ecuadorians, Ghanaians and Columbians not far behind with 7 inches, 6.8 inches and 6.7 inches respectively.
The average for the African continent as a whole is a whopping 6.3 inches.
Medium
The Icelanders come top of the Europeans with 6.5 inches.
The Germans are Mr European average with 5.7 inches.
The Brits come out above the French, beating the more traditional country of love and romance, by a full 0.2 inches.
The Brits also beat the Australians (5.2in), Americans (5.1in) and Irish (5in).
Small
At the other end of the table, North and South Korea measure in at 3.8 inches. India and Thailand are only slightly bigger at 4 inches.
The overall average for north-east Asians was the lowest at 4.2 inches.
