Have Democrats Become the Party of the Rich?
The Nation ^ | August 20, 2021 | David Bromwich

If you’re waiting for Democrats to talk as frankly about wealth as they do about race, don’t hold your breath.

Some recent US figures on the distribution of income by party: 65 percent of taxpayer households that earn more than $500,000 per year are now in Democratic districts; 74 percent of the households in Republican districts earn less than $100,00 per year. Add to this what we knew already, namely that the 10 richest congressional districts in the country all have Democratic representatives in Congress. The above numbers incidentally come from the Internal Revenue Service, via Bloomberg, and are likely to be more reliable than if they came from Project Veritas via theblaze.com.

Democrat’s have always been the party of slavery. After Lincoln took away thier slaves they transitioned to the universal slavery of Socialism.

Dems support policies that privatize gains and socialize losses.

Corporatism.

The Left seems to randomly move all over the landscape with no direction in particular. There is , however , one place they always move towards : tyranny and unlimited power.

It always has been since Andy Jackson and the other big plantation owners founded the party.

Well, the trend has been pretty clear. DemoKKKRats inhabit the richest 20 enclaves in America, pretty much dominate Silicon Valley, Hollywood, NYC, Kinshasa-on-the-Delaware (Philly), and the NC Triangle.

They depend totally on rich money and po voters.

Interesting piece today that some DemoKKKrats are questioning globalism.

Nice NRO Simplism

Ironic they have almost no support in the white South

Particularly amongst white southern idigs

How do Tom and Andy Jackson fit in your equation

And radical republicans in reconstruction

Not exactly short arm of govt power sorts

This direct line crap

Rich Lowry and Goldberg and CW Cooke and VDH and Beck promote is so flawed

It’s counterproductive anyhow

Somebody somewhere decided to deflect charges of the right is racist determiner 30 years ago to demonize white southerners like me and my ancestry to say “hey it’s not us it’s them”

They figured socially conservative whites would end up GOPe anyhow since nowhere else to go

So thanks a lot Nate

Btw you happy with the republicans

I’m not

They opposed Trump and supported the steal

You place your hopes in the gop you’re naive

No before you get started besides getting the rightfully elected man in office I have no answers

Yes Larry I acknowledge you’re the exception lol

I like that about you despite this schism

From intel source, “We look at the math at the ZIP Code level. Some counties only need 30 or 40 “relocated voters “to change a rural county from red to blue. This is very detailed and specific design.”— Michael Yon (@Michael_Yon) May 14, 2023
