I think your analysis is wrong because it oversimplifies the problem. Unfortunately, it is not about democrats or republicans - or different philosophies: one leading to prosperity other leading to ruin. I wish that is so simple. The problem is much more complex. But, I think that all problems start with disappearance of middle class which causes people to "sell" their votes (and rich/powerful ones are more than willing to pay for these votes). That then leads to corruption, etc. vicious circle to the bottom.
