From the title, I naturally assumed this would be an article about Senator "Sheets" Byrd. :)
True. If Kerry/Edwrads had slimed into office, they would have been the wealthiest Pres. and Vice-Pres. in US history.
Tom Sowell bump.
I'll wager that a look into the so-called "Anti-War Movement" during the VietNam War would reveal a similar socioeconomic strata. I have contended all along that the war "protestors" did not do anything out of "conscience" or had some sort of "moral" objection to the war. They were, simply, cowards. There is no such thing as a "conscientous objector". The latter is conscientious only about saving is own hide. Look what happened to the "antiwar movement" after the draft was ended - it faded away, even though the fighting and dying continued in SEA. The "protestors" were - and are now as middle-age "adults" - anti-American phonies, frauds, cowards, and they comprise the vast majority of the democrat party.
Logic dictates that in order for the political party of the rich to garner more votes that party would like as many Americans as possible to be rich. That same logic indicates that in order for the political party of the poor to garner more votes that party would like as many Americans as possible to be poor.
