Democrats like to define themselves as the party of poor and middle-income
Americans, but a new study says they now represent the majority of the
nation's wealthiest congressional districts.

In a state-by-state, district-by-district comparison of wealth
concentrations based on Internal Revenue Service income data, Michael
Franc, vice president of government relations at the Heritage Foundation,
found that the majority of the nation's wealthiest congressional
jurisdictions were represented by Democrats.

He also found that more than half of the wealthiest households were
concentrated in the 18 states where Democrats hold both Senate seats.

"If you take the wealthiest one-third of the 435 congressional districts,
we found that the Democrats represent about 58 percent of those
jurisdictions," Mr. Franc said.

A key measure of each district's wealth was the number of single-filer
taxpayers earning more than $100,000 a year and married couples filing
jointly who earn more than $200,000 annually, he said.



It is also the party of bigots/racists and the intolerant. If one looks at
Super Tuesday D voting results many are in the NE area of the country and
not in the southern States as usually stereotyped.
