Wonder Why "Values" Politics Is On The Decline?

For my part, I think this article suggests why.  Family values are all well and good, but, in real life, they cost money.  Anybody who's ever tried to support and raise a family (including me) can figure than out.  Even the Republicans have done that, which is why they've abandoned almost all pretense at trying to woo so-called Reagan Democrats with "values" politics.  Instead, as the recent battle to the death over millionaires' tax cuts has shown, time and truth have exposed them for what they always have been, first and foremost:  economic royalists.
