FDR?
FDR tried to enact what amounted to Socialism and it mostly failed badly. It was the unintended consequences of government interference in the market and FDR is to blame.

TAG still thinks of capitalism and socialism as a binary choice, and with that belief, valuable input into the conversation is impossible.
Idiots like you?
No, I don't. Some degree of socialism in terms of social things to care for the poor and the like are a desirable thing in affluent societies and make them better. Mass meddling and takeover of entire sectors of the economy are almost uniformly bad. Don't take statements I make, like the one you quoted, as an absolute. Instead, recognize I'm generalizing without spending half-a-page trying to explain the nuisances of my thinking to you.

Did Social Security and Medicare actually fail, or are they practically the only hints of modernity that we have in our socially regressive nation?
And it works because we use regulations and taxes to tame capitalism
Why would working class people vote Republican!
We've argued about everything else, 'vince, but I don't believe that we've argued about this. This is really basic.
Only an idiot would claim that given the actual facts ass brain
That is a large share of the current Republican vote. I think it is mostly because of social issues since the parties differ little on economics.
The working class used to be a major part of the Democratic New Deal coalition but I think Democrats have alienated many of them by calling them a "basket of deplorables," red neck, and "uneducated" (rather than without college degrees). Whether we think that is an accurate description is irrelevant to whether it has alienated them and lost their votes.

Keynesian economics (/ˈkeɪnziən/ KAYN-zee-ən; sometimes Keynesianism, named after British economist John Maynard Keynes) are the various macroeconomic theories and models of how aggregate demand (total spending in the economy) strongly influences economic output and inflation.[1] In the Keynesian view, aggregate demand does not necessarily equal the productive capacity of the economy. Instead, it is influenced by a host of factors – sometimes behaving erratically – affecting production, employment, and inflation.[2]
Keynesian economists generally argue that aggregate demand is volatile and unstable and that, consequently, a market economy often experiences inefficient macroeconomic outcomes – a recession, when demand is low, or inflation, when demand is high. Further, they argue that these economic fluctuations can be mitigated by economic policy responses coordinated between government and central bank. In particular, fiscal policy actions (taken by the government) and monetary policy actions (taken by the central bank), can help stabilize economic output, inflation, and unemployment over the business cycle.[3] Keynesian economists generally advocate a regulated market economy – predominantly private sector, but with an active role for government intervention during recessions and depressions.[4]
Keynesian economics developed during and after the Great Depression from the ideas presented by Keynes in his 1936 book, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money.[5] Keynes' approach was a stark contrast to the aggregate supply-focused classical economics that preceded his book. Interpreting Keynes's work is a contentious topic, and several schools of economic thought claim his legacy.
Keynesian economics, as part of the neoclassical synthesis, served as the standard macroeconomic model in the developed nations during the later part of the Great Depression, World War II, and the post-war economic expansion (1945–1973). It was developed in part to attempt to explain the Great Depression and to help economists understand future crises. It lost some influence following the oil shock and resulting stagflation of the 1970s.[6] Keynesian economics was later redeveloped as New Keynesian economics, becoming part of the contemporary new neoclassical synthesis, that forms current-day mainstream macroeconomics.[7] The advent of the financial crisis of 2007–2008 sparked renewed interest in Keynesian policies by governments around the world.[8]
They inherited huge amounts and paid little inheritance tax. I did not inherit any large amounts, but had parents who gave me an education and I’m a lawyer… I chose a less lucrative income for happiness and family, it’s a luxury to habe that choice. I pay a larger percentage in tax than Mitt Romney and Don Trump.
And it works because we use regulations and taxes to tame capitalism
