But now the Democratic Party is for the Liberal Elite who happens to be wealthy. Ideally, they want 90% of their voters to be on the dole so they'll be dependent on the state.
So if you're a middle class person and you're not dependent on the government, by default you're a Republican. Many Hispanics and some black men are finding that out now.
The Democrat party is now the party of inherited and windfall wealth. They live off the sweat and toil of their ancestors, parents, and ex-husbands.
My father was an FDR Democrat. He used to say that the Democrat Party is the party of the working class. As I got more politically savvy, I told him that the Democrat Party is the party that takes from the working class, and gives it to the people who don't want to work. He died in 1979, and if he was alive today, he wouldn't recognize the RAT party, let alone belong to it.
Ah yes, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was Working Class. As was Thomas Woodrow Wilson and John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

It has bells on it.
