The problem stems from the Chicago School of Econ which the GOP and corporatists picked up and ran with, touting dereg and tax reductions as economic problem solvers. That's what has brought us to Citizens United and the fractional partisanship we see today. Countering that socio-politically is an insurmountable hurdle because of the fractionalization it has induced. Left and Right alike will only respond with reactionism to anything one side or the other introduces and the public will side with their party overlords.

People won't respond to obvious press releases because the polarization acts as inoculation against the introduction of opposing ideologies, in-spite of the factual nature of that information and regardless of the damaging effects it (the deregulation) has had and will have.

Can't change minds when people refuse to acknowledge the problem despite it being right in front of them.
