The Democrats!

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.


But don't seem to care about the constant lies and pandering of
Billary, are they dumb, or just selfish, fat, and they got theirs??

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


OK Harry, just make it up as you go along, we are used to democrats
here..
