Point one; we agree in part, but the Dems did not create the 2008 crash; the Republican laissze-faire did.
Point two: "fractional reserve banking" has nothing to do with money going to the top: it's about loans for capital investment. The earning power of the 1% shifted in their favor beginning in the late '70s while everybody else's earning power was legislatively and by anti-unionism taken away and suppressed.
Third point: if you live and vote right-wing you ARE voting against your own interest in favor of political views which are based on your psychological framing: "the strict father who knows what's best".
"Republican laissze-faire" is an oxymoron. I mean, really, how can Republican government be "abstention by governments from interfering in the workings of the free market." https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/laissez-faire
Also, it's spelled laissez-faire
Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler
For one two and three, you don't know what you are talking about.
1. Ultimately the crash was bipartisan. Several things happened over decades that led to it.
2. You miss the point. There is no "money going to the top" in the sense that you appear to claim. There is no fixed pie of money. Because we use fractional reserve banking.
3. Stupid and lazy statement.
