Yep.

Democrats Mission Statement:

Keep telling the lie, pound it, don't let up...people will eventually just start to believe it.

[dadx4]

A little quiet from the libs wouldn't you say....

[Dreamliner]

As far as I know, the Democrats have always been the party of the rich.

[dynogator]

I think the "party of the rich," refers to the constituents, not the politicians.

[dadx4]

So did you not notice which party dominated the list. The stereotype is that the pubs are the party of the rich.....just sayin'

I don't think that's true either. At least not anymore.

But don't despair, the overturning of the one stereotype now allows for Democrats to look down on Republicans because they're less-monied bumpkins.

So it's win-win. Awesome!

I don't think the stereotype has been overturned, however. I think Republican policies still favor the haves.

Well, maybe that's one policy that the pubs got right. Why should the haves be punished ? After all, they're the folks who provide the jobs.

If by "favor the haves" you mean let people keep more of what they earn, then hopefully Republican policies do that. If you look at capitalism as haves / have nots you're living in a world completely isolated from reality.

That we have any Senators with a net worth of over $30 million (much less 14 of them) shows how broken our system is.

Why?

BTW, I imagine it is safe to bet that you voted for someone on that list in the last presidential election. Am I right?

I look at capitalism as a system where the accrual of profit is the bottom line, literally. Wealth accumulation is paramount, and supercedes all other considerations. Conservatives support these activities, preferably without let or hindrance from outside agencies, especially government.

I don't see anything wrong with it, provided that these fat-cat Democrats walk their talk and donate their salaries to their 'downtrodden' constituents.

Both parties are parties of the rich--albeit, with some disagreement over how to use government power to advance their agenda. Not all rich entities or people are affiliated with either party, some are affiliated with both.

[JerseyGator01]

Neither party is the party of the poor. And it's not even close. No matter who's in power in Trenton, it's still been a little Detroit for decades. CORRUPTION RULES!!!!!

[mdgator01]

Well the wealthiest states are typically Democratic-majority. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the policies in those states though. Clearly we should be following the economic advice of the poorest states.

And the purpose of its policies.

One of those +1 for you.
