I've always found that leftists who "make it" in the capitalist system, usually believe 3 things... Number 1, that they were incredibly lucky in making their fortune, and if not for that luck, they wouldn't have made it. That luck is the only difference between them and "the poor" (TM). Secondly, that "although the capitalist system is bad," they were able to use it to overcome everything else... It's only because they're "special people" who are smarter, and better than the rest of us, that they can "control" the system. Although capitalism allowed them to get where they are, it's a bad system, and must be dismantled. Because it's better for everyone else, and they know what's best (otherwise, they wouldn't have gotten to where they are!). Third, that government MUST be used to "help the poor," since individuals simply aren't capable of "helping the poor." The people of the country must be made to pay for those charitable works... Quite often, leftists are extremely stingy on giving charity, since they believe it's the government's job, not that of the people.

Statistically, the Democratic party is the party of the very poor (who want handouts) and the filthy rich, especially those from "old money," who are elitist a$$-wipes (Soros, Kennedy's). Most people who actually work for a living are Republican or otherwise conservative.
