Americans are slowly becoming more radical as a reaction to economic pressures. With each side's policies alien to the other, compromise becomes impossible. Eventually one side will have to win out and then things will get very interesting.

If this is the case, then I have to say it’s not looking good for the poor, no matter which side wins.

Given enough time one-side ALWAYS wins out. Those that are desperate and have nothing to lose.
