Simply Untrue

The common knock on Republicans is that they represent the rich, the top 1%. It turns out it simply isn't true. See what Politico reports about which party the superrich support.

Democrats spent much of the 2014 campaign castigating Republican big money, but, it turns out, their side actually finished ahead among the biggest donors of 2014 – at least among those whose contributions were disclosed.

Truly, Republicans represent those Americans for whom the system works, not the rich but the successful at all levels of society. Conversely, Democrats represent two categories: those who see themselves as victims and the superrich, who feel, probably accurately, their wealth is mostly unearned. Short answer: the hard-working winners vs. the losers and the lucky few.
