Are they really all that different on 'economic' issues?  Not to fall into
the econ v. politics trap, but I am not sure that I buy all that class
fractions lead to specific policies by the two representatives of the
fractions argument. It does appear though that the Dems are truly
'progressive' in terms of pushing for the furthering of capital accumulation
while the Reps are kind of a bit more status quo pro-capital. Although,
maybe not.
