The very wealthy are liberal. Think George Soros, Warren Buffett and Steve Jobs. Today its a safe bet any one with lots of money is likely to vote Democrat. In the old days, the reverse was true.

Many of those who have “easy money” are liberal...heirs, dot-com millionaires, high-ranking bureaucrats.

It makes them feel better about not working for a living.

Why the rich would want to vote Dem is beyond me. The Dem's consistently want to raise the percentage of their taxes and make is harder on corporate America.

Besides, I'm hearing that liberals are moving to Canada. Maybe some are getting out before Edwards takes "it away by force from them".

And in the old days, Democrat stood for helping the people and looking out for their interests and Republican meant help the fat cats.

Today Democrat is a synonym for the Communism that failed in Russia and to be Republican is to watch the weather vane and turn whichever way it points.

I really think the whole electorate has been moved left by a constant barrage of liberal propoganda which goes largely unanswered. Republicans usually apologetically claim they are trying to accomplish the same things as liberals.

You can cite statistics demonstrating that Americans say they are conservative, but my friends, in the America of not long ago the likes of Al Gore and John Kerry would have fared the same as George McGovern.

Today its a safe bet any one with lots of money is likely to vote Democrat.

That's because this "haves vs have nots" is another made up Democratic scheme to drive class envy. The real kicker is that when Democrat politicians yell about taxing the wealthy, they never actually clarify that they are taxing the wealthy INCOME earners. People like Buffet are not taking in any INCOME, hence get taxed very little. Our Income Tax code is meant to punish the wealthy income earners, i.e. small business owners and such, NOT wealthy Americans. There is a difference and is one reason why a revolution will need to take place before our current tax code is replaced.

Surprising thing is that nothing is stopping these wealthy people from just giving money to the Federal Government. Oh wait they do, to fund organizations like MoveOn.

Ironic that that Billionaire Left thinks that other poorer “wealthy” people aren’t paying their share while these rich anticapitalists still employ tax shelters for their vast wealth.
