> Few poor republicans and poor democrats would like to admit that they are in the same economic boat

They might agree that they're in the same boat, but they'll disagree with why they're there.

Poor democrats will blame corporations for keeping wages low and sending jobs to China and lack of government assistance programs. They think the solution is to increase taxes on the rich to provide better social programs.

Poor republicans will blame illegal immigrants for stealing their job, or they somehow think the government is in their way. They think the solution is to cut taxes on the corporations to create jobs (regardless of the fact that this never works).
