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. Couple of MAJOR point The Washington times is about as conservative as they come - it will print anything that paints democrats in a biased light but never even mentioned how poorly the war in Iraq was going - or that there was even a different opinion about it. $200,000 per year IS NOT rich - that is simply the Educated workers!!! *No surprise that the educated are more critical of republican lies and rhetoric. * See the first statement about WashTimes - any coincidence that they would draw the income line at 200K to make a point? The rich republican supporters that you hear about are the top 5% in income who coincidently control about 40% of all the wealth in the country....- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Can't have it both ways... |
