two kitchen tables in America

Last night's debate showed that while there's more than a couple few Americas the candidates are attempting to appeal to, there may only be two kitchen tables in America.

Around one table, people have the stomach to discuss the government's role in the decline of the American dream. They're willing to try solutions, even if the policies are more cod liver than caviar. For dessert, these folks politely spoon humble pie as they accept their culpability in the situation.

Around the other table ever larger portions of denial are served up with an apron, a smile, and a wink!
