A Slogan for the Democrats

The Democrats need to reclaim their natural constituency. I think it was on dailykos.com a couple months ago I saw a suggestion that Democrats market themselves as "the party for people who work for a living." Certainly, many people who work for a living voted for the other party and it is not difficult to prove the other party is not FOR people who work for a living. In recent days, the Republican-controlled Congress passed legislation to protect banks (the rich!) from working people (the poor). Last year, Congress passed legislation to protect pharmaceutical companies (the rich!) by preventing Americans from buying prescription drugs at prices the drug companies charge across the border in Canada. The privatization scheme for Social Security is clearly designed and advocated by people who, for the most part, never worked for an hourly wage and have only a theoretical undersanding of the minimum wage. Clearly, the Republicans are Robin Hood Reversed!
