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.


Did you read Harry's comment about Obama being a credit to his race?


"A credit to his race"...is a racist statement. Next thing, Harry will
declare some of his best friends are Black. The Clintons want to credit
Obama's wins to the Black vote. Yeah, there's a slew of Black voters in
Idaho, Colorado, Kansas, etc.
