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?


and someone that young blacks can use for a role model?

While Obama got a lot of black votes, he also got more votes from white
males than Hillary, and more votes from females under the age of 65 than
Hillary.


And next Tuesday, he's going to get two from retired, whites over the age
of 55.
