Krugman on the party divide

Paul Krugman comments on the differing moral values of the two major parties.

How can the parties agree on policy when they have utterly different visions of how the economy works, when one party feels for the unemployed, while the other weeps over affluent victims of the “death tax”?

Is Krugman’s assessment fair or does he oversimplify a complex debate?
