I guess John F. Kerry didn’t have no moneys because rich people are evil and we certainly would’ve heard about it if he was one of those evil rich bastards who never worked a day in his life for all that moolah.

I’ll bet these rich areas have a lot of academia in them, along with Trust fund babies who never work....

Notice they parse it by *county*, not precinct. Most counties are HUGE and can have a lot of "poor" included in the vote with the "rich". Many poor voting for Obongo outnumber the fewer wealthy in the county.

This is just more leftist propaganda. This is just as usefuyl as those comparisons that say "look at how much acreage of the US voted for Romney!"

Throw them under the bus and spread their wealth. I don’t want to hear their cries.

Let’s see how they like it when they are forced to spread the wealth.

They will get it back ten fold on some Green Energy boondoggle or some such crony deal.

It's the Chicago Way.

Interesting that Morris County — Chris Christie’s home turf where he currently lives and where he got his start in politics — went for Romney. Morris, Somerset and Hunterdon are heavily Republican counties, but they’re not necessarily conservative when it comes to many issues. I suspect the Somerset Co. vote for Obama was mainly due to low GOP turnout in a state that wasn’t contested by either candidate and where there were no close races for any office.

Socialism, fascism/marxism/communism, are just a re-packaged form of monarchy.

Bingo. There are really only two from of government. Either a Free Republic, or a form of Monarchy that has many alias names that result in the same end.

I grew up in Montgomery County, MD and moved away for the past 30 years. Over this time Bethesda has been transformed from a relatively sleepy (yet expensive) D.C. suburb to a cosmopolitan hub, with some of the area’s best restaurants and shops in the center of town near the Metro station. My sense is that the majority of its residents voted for Obama. Recently while visiting there I couldn’t help thinking that all the conspicuous consumption and “upscale-ness” going on in Bethesda is, directly or indirectly, more than 75% dependent on Federal Government expenditure. There is no way these very high-end Washingtonians, Democrat or Republican, will tolerate a shrinking of our government. These people are also very much a part of the 47%.

crony capitalists have never minded working with ideologues, even Marxist ideologues (whose got factories in China)

and ideologues, even Marxist ideologues like Obama have never minded working with crony capitalists

until the tax system is squashed flat, and

presidents no longer think, Soviet style, that THEY are the chief economic manager of the country (as Obama once referred to himself), financial marriages of convenience will continue to dominate the affairs of the biggest U.S. cron capitalists and the biggest politicians

Are you sure those in those wealthy country are rich because of their rich uncle? Even so, if they are rich, they must be doing something better to keep the wealth. Wealth represents hard work and good decisions. Poverty represents laziness. There are exceptions, but overall your wealth represents the good things you have accomplished.

Are any of your relatives by any chance Soros, Gates, and Buffet?

In reality, wealthy people are the most charitable and pay 90% of the income taxes. Even here in FR, this class warfare is happening. Without wealthy people, there would be no museums and businesses. Without wealthy people who have money to SPARE , there is no investments and capital markets. If a country has full of poor and middle class, we call that a third world hellhole!

I am not fostering class warfare. I am just letting FR folks know what I have seen first hand and an explanation on why these extremely wealthy counties may have went for obama.

Correction: Obama won nothing. He never has. The only way this fool is where is he is though cheating, deceit, fraud, smearing and stealing.
