Really, what kind of people vote for democrats?

Of course Republicans do. How do you think the 1% doubled their take of the nation's income (from 10% to 20%) and wealth (from 20% to 40%)? Worked twice as hard? LOL

 

Don't be absurd. Nobody ever said that the Republicans were the party of every rich person that exists in this country. In fact, they are not necessarily the party of the rich because all the rich people are Republicans, but rather because most Republican policies are crafted to benefit the rich first and foremost. Being rich does not automatically make you a Republican because a lot depends on your views on taxes and government. But, if you ARE rich and you want the party that will benefit you the most, you vote Republican.

 

"Really, what kind of people vote for democrats"

Other than the dead kind, there are two kinds:

1) The ignorant
2) The immoral

Same kind that votes for Republicans, it appears.

 

Nope they invested more carefully backed the right horse more frequently. And let the suckers think a forty hour week was gold. If you aren't willing to work more than half the hours in a 168 hour week you aren't gong to get rich.

 

I'm making the point that Republicans represent nobody other than the very wealthy. You further confirm it by not being able to prove differently.

 

If I were rich, I'd vote Republican too. They would have my best interests at heart in that case. Calm down and accept that the right wing leaders represent only the wealthy. We all know it. Republicans start the sentence with "The American people...", and what they actually mean is "The very wealthy American people..."
The tea party is merely a fractured piece of the Republican party that is fading away too.

White corporate fat cats will always vote Republican.

 

Only two kinds of Republican votes. The wealthy, and the super wealthy. (and a pile of low information, ignorant rednecks).

Bingo.

 

In answer to the thread question--------------------drones that want something for nothing.

 

I see. So the 1% invests twice as much "more carefully" than they did 30 years ago, and that is how the top 1% now take twice the share of the nation's income (from 10% to 20%) and twice the share of the nation's wealth (from 20% to 40%).

Conservatives make sense. If you ignore reality.

 

No, they represent me by being the party less likely to interfere in my freedom to pursue life and happiness on my terms, not the terms of the collective. They're far from perfect and I do not worship at the altar of the conservatives as you worship the progs. I'm an individual with my own thoughts and taste, no party speaks for me in entirety.
They also defend my 2 nd amendment rights. I consider that an important issue to me. You on the other hand have a singular interest in punishing anyone that has more money than yourself. I find that attitude immature and shallow not to mention destructive to society and the jealous zealots that endorse it.
In the end I have nothing to prove to you anyway. In your skewed opinion of the world I do not exist, remember?

 

if everyone was a millionaire the greedy people for a bigger nanny controlling government would still vote republican, as they would still want the gov to control our lives

.

 

So I'm guessing current governors Jay Nixon of Missouri, Earl Ray Tomblin of West Virginia, Steve Bashear of Kentucky, Mike Beebe of Arkansas, and former governor Tim Kaine of Virginia don't count as small government Democrats?

 

Are they not?

Name one that fell out of the category.

 

I know where you are going but mind you, if everyone in America were relatively rich, that would mean less people would neither have the time nor the heart to be religious, so reps don't have to play religion card to ATTRACT THE POPULAR VOTES OF THE RELIGIOUS, who by accident (or not) are largely poor.

 

Okay...well, so they represent the rich, you would have to agree by default. Who ELSE do they represent? What banner do they tout other than the one that says "We love our rich"?

So, you can't answer. I got it. So, back at the ranch., the Republicans represent only the rich, as suggested, or as George Bush would say "his base". What I keep asking is who ELSE besides the rich do the Republicans represent ASIDE from the very rich? My contention is NOBODY. How bout this. Do they represent ANY poor people, and if so, WHO? (rednecks aside for the moment). What group of people do they openly support, aside from the very wealthy (and the rednecks)?

Rich man first, as we all know. Why should a poor person vote Republican? I can't think of a single reason to.

 

Lets look and see who the super rich really are.

This is taken directly from forbes top 15 richest in America.

DEMOCRATS
D-Bill Gates 56 Billion

D- Warren Buffett $50.0 billion:

D- Lawrence Ellison $39.5 billion

Value scientfic progress? except of course when the science reaches conclusions that disagree with what the left wishes to be true.

Understand economic theories??? You've got to be kidding. I've met almost no Democrats that know what the competing economic schools are. Let alone their differences.

Almost no one wants no government at all except some of the more extreme libertarians. Basic women's rights? Unless of course the woman happens to still be in the womb. Girls get aborted far more often than boys world wide, and world wide it is rarely the woman who gets to make the decision.

Value the rights of minorities? Who doesn't? And behavior doesn't create a minority.

Of course there is a value in making sure the poor and the old have access to medical care and that the old don't don't have to work until they die. We just think there are better ways to do it than massive one size fits all government programs that are eaten up with fraud, abuse and waste.

And please tell me when did Obama balance the budget???

 

Many are not.

 

Funny..I didn't see Mitt Romney in there anywhere. That because he ISN'T super wealthy, or just because he refuses to disclose his hidden profit from overseas? Don't know where you got it, but I'd say the list is a bit suspect.

 

Forbes. Reading is fundamental.

 

Any of that list include off shored profits?

 

YOU people imply it every time you repeat that idiotic statement.

Get over it, it's got to be one of the most absurd things to post, that the GOP is the party of the "rich", when King Obama flies to California four times a year siphon money from the Hollywierd turds.

List the American billionaires. The Koch Brothers....and who? What do they support? Oh, that's right, Constitutional government.

List the socialist billionaires. Gates, Buffet, Bloomberg, Orca Winfrey, Spielberg, Lucas....etc. Traitors and fascists all.

So why are you playing the fool repeating the mind-controlling catch phrases of your Big Brother? You are playing, right?

 

Examples would be nice.

No, but most of them seem to understand basic supply and demand and where the government fits into it in the case of an extended demand slump. Oh, and then there's the whole debt ceiling thing...

And yet, the republicans are threatening a total government shutdown if they don't get their way on Obamacare. Huh. Fancy that.

The right of bodily autonomy is a basic right.

Homosexuality is not behavior.

So... what's the republican alternative? So far, I haven't seen one. A voucher-based insurance system filled with more holes than a block of swiss?

He didn't. It's just another testament to how right the modern Keynesians were about the economy. Here are the CBO's numbers of deficit as percent of GDP.



Here's a slightly longer graph (further down means higher deficit as percent of GDP):



So why has the deficit been dropping, both total and as share of GDP?

 

All earthly things are dominated by satan. Satan is the master of deception. The game is deception. Most Republicans are too good and pure-hearted to understand the game, let alone play it.

I hate them for that.

 

Very interesting list, although im not exactly surprised.

Just look where and who leftists attack for increases in tax revenue. Its always wages, so the working class. Even if they attack higher than average wage earners it makes zero difference to their elite socialist rulers, the truly rich didnt get there earning wages! The more that can be taken from higher wage earners and more red tape barriers to protect their status the better.

If someone earners $200k they'll still only see a movie once, or buy the same items from Walmart than one person will. But share the wages of that wage slave with 20 other people, well well, more people seeing my movie or buying my stuff!

But the right get blamed for being for the rich simply because they believe its best to encourage small/ medium business which supplies the ladders into the working and middle class. The left thinks taking from those with jobs and giving to those without will - actually im pretty sure they know what it does. Buys votes, kills incentive to work and feeds their socialist elite while pretending to hold some moral high ground.
