There was a news article I came across back around the year 2000 that was about a report that was release on research of the Congress critters at that time in regards to their net worth as political parties.

Republicans at that time had a collective net worth of about $300 million.

The Dems had a net worth of about $1.2 billion.

They always were - it’s just that they’ve been, and still are the party of the rich and NON-productive. They’re no friends of the Carnegie’s of the world. They lean more towards the flim-flam types, the scam artists.

Just now noticed this have we?

The Democrats are no longer the party of the working man. The Republicans are.

I call it the First Democrat-Republican War. The Left is responsible for calling it North Vs. South. If you take a look at the Senators expelled from the Senate during that time you will notice something amazingly common to both.

Considering the Radical Republicans close association with European revolutionaries including Karl Marx it could easily be the first communist vs American war.

Read Marx’s writing on the Civil War with the current crop of South haters and you won’t be able to see a difference.

Dude,

Welfare isn’t for the poor. They get stupid Obama phones, that the other phone users have to pay for in the form of a surcharge. They get a few pennies thrown their way.

The real welfare is in the form of billions of dollars with big pharma (corporate welfare), massive subsidies worth billions for electric cars, green programs, retirement bailouts for unions, giving big tax breaks for folks that buy a Tesla. $7,500 per car sold! https://www.tesla.com/support/incentives

Do you really think some $50,000 a year family of 5 or 6 that’s Latino buys a $112,000 Tesla?

The Democrats are the party of big spending, and that’s not for the “poor.”

Democrat rule: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/American_Billionaires_V2_Post.png

The real money is with the government and US corporations, the big financial institutions know this. Under Democrat rule, you have US financial institutions basically get handed a country! https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/28/zelenskyy-blackrock-ceo-fink-agree-to-coordinate-ukraine-investment.html

The Democrats are the party that knows how to divide and conquer, play the race, sex, gender, religion, socio economic game to get self perceived have-nots on their side, but they really just play these people like useful idiots.

When elections come around, ALL Latino TV and radio will be filled about the border 24/7, they will claim Trump will throw people out, is a racist, make it harder for legal folks to traverse the border... Why do you think that is? But do you really think the Democrats have actually helped this demographic? Nope. They just play them for the fool, and they fall for it, but you can’t entirely blame them because guess what they get to hear and see, who controls the media?

The poor vote for those that make them poor. Jeff Bezos who runs a modern day sweat shop, with poor benefits, working conditions, hires and fires people like they are a mere commodity is a perfect example, he’s a big Democrat. So is Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Bourla...
