You have a huge number of teasies and Republicans screaming that EVERYONE should pay income taxes , so as to have "skin in the game". Consider that many Black people have such small incomes that they pay no income tax. The Republicans want to tax them. So naturally, it is economically stupid for those people who pay zero income taxes to vote Republicans so they will have to pay more. Black people are not stupid. Most believe that the Teabaggers are racists, and indeed, a kluxer who is not with the Republicans & Teasies is a kluxer who is not paying attention. Not all Republicans are racists, nor all teasies are racists. But damn near all racists are Republicans these days.
What caused this to happen? and when?
There is no good reason for most Black people in most of this country to vote Republican. None. And they don't and won't.
That is the real question indeed, but it cuts both ways .
Are the Problems we have been speaking of going to be improved or worsened by continuing the status quo? More of the same and less and less sane?
Obama was elected as the "Hope and Change" candidate but he is presently the defender of the status quo and the financial status of the quo is unsustainable.
You can't simply expect that a tax increase will increase Government revenue at some point the taxes are too destructive for the economy to support . Somewhere short of complete destruction is the anemic economy result of too much tax yet not quite enough to kill.
How can we be sure that the economy we have is robust and not fragile , can carry a continuously expanding government as it expands ad infinitum?
If black people are the chief beneficiaries of this Ponzi scheme , then they will be the most hurt from its collapse.
