“republicans are only for the rich”.....whenever I hear that I usually reply to the person that “The Democrats are for the poor.” To which they say, “Damned right!” or some such, to which I reply, “...and they BOTH want to make as many of us like them as possible.”...which is usually met with a “deer in the headlights” stare........
Democrats are the party of the rich these days.
Think Ted Kennedy, who is FOR the estate tax, is going to surrender his estate to the government when he croaks or do you suspect that he’s using some shelters for his money?
They like the appearance of being FOR the poor. Really they just want to keep them from ever being able to get rich. Old money hates new money.
