In the rotten boroughs of New England, the wealthy recognize the fact that it is now easier to generate "wealth" through legislation than by operating a business subject to the whims of a free people.

One more signal of the terminal decline of our sometime republic.

Liberal= White, Affluent, Assuming.

IMO this is not a domographic shift. I doubt they voted for Regan.

Just a thought - maybe Chris Dodd is preparing to give up in politics, Ned Lamont heard about it and is getting his teeth sharp for an eventual step-in. Oh the humanity!

2006, an amazing 63 percent of voters making from $150,000 to $200,000 chose Democratic candidates. Even those making over $200,000 favored Democrats, albeit by a small margin.

LOL, these are probably the same morons who always seemed to find "kick me" signs taped to their backs in high school. Apparently they liked it so much they are now sticking those signs on their OWN backs.

“wealth”

Yet here’s something they’ll never understand...living a life of principle has made me truly wealthy, even beyond their wildest dreams. True wealth is not about power or green paper ($) or political gain. True wealth is readily apparent to those who possess it and an enigma to those who misunderstand it. Those with true wealth willingly share it with anyone who asks. Those who misunderstand it contrive ways to assuage their guilt.
