Are rich Democrats stupid?
In a word, yes.

Taxes on high incomes don't hurt the rich, the hurt those who would otherwise become rich.
In other words, they protect the already-rich from competition.

Rich democrats don't pay those taxes, middle class shlubs pay those taxes. Democrats like liberalism because their wealth transfers from generation to generation, and they can keep the rabble from joining them.

Rich people don't pay enormous tax rates so I doubt they care.

They all assume that they will be in the Elite Class in hillary's new world.
Some pigs are more equal than others.

Are rich Democrats stupid? Not a doubt in my mind.
To: Sola Veritas
Not only are they stupid, but they're a danger to themselves and to others and they should be institutionalized.

Friedrich Engels, co-author with Karl Marx of "The Communist Manifesto", was a rich guy. Many radicals come from wealthy families. Man's basic drive is to find meaning in life, and when people lose faith in more traditional religions, they have a tendency to turn to non-traditional religions like NAZIsm, communism, and radical Islam. As a result the most "idealistic" members of society can also easily turn out to be the most destructive.

Most rich Democrats are rich due to being creative, not intelligent. What does a rich, Hollywood elitist know about running a business? What does an actor know besides feigning emotion? What does a singer know besides making music? Even the way they made their money is very unusual, as compared to the rest of the country, so what do they know about us?
A limosine liberal can abstractly care about the rain forests, the poor, and Halliburton because it feels good to do so, and has a certain moral quality that is otherwise lacking in their lives. Their views don't have to make sense, exactly, they just have to sound plausible and noble.
This opens the door to stupidity. Many rich liberals are caught in a self perpetuating spiral of stupid beliefs, grounded in fantasy, and buffered by conspiracy. Little things like facts are pointless distractions, at best.

If rich democRATs think that they should give more money to the government, that what's stopping them? You don't need a tax increase to write a check to the treasury.
To: Sola Veritas
No. Rich Democrats are not stupid. Witness the "Clinton years" -- similar sentiments were expressed by First Lady then Clinton -- however, she / admin manuevered to make them money elsewhere in other venues. Cattle futures, ring any bells?

No they're not stupid because they'll be protected by their armed guards in their gated communities while the people they're supposed to care about will be begging for handouts.

Only anecdotal proof of this, but I believe that rich democrats tend to be wealthy by accident of birth or fame, whereas wealthy republicans more often are rich by working to build a business. When you are rich by accident, you are much moor likely to have guilt about it, and thus more likely to be a dem. An exception is the super-insane rich who are so wealthy that they could lose 90% of their money and still have a million times more than they could ever spend (e.g. Warren Buffet)
