I am not reading all your wrote but you are saying something that is not true. I am a liberal & know over 200 liberals who are probably richer than I am, I just went to a party at one’s house & it is about 6000 sqare ft. in size. Golf course on the back, so what. I went cause the people there are lovely people. There is Oprah, Gates, Buffet & actually a whole slew of libs who met a few weeks ago they were called the billionaires club….I do not call republicans rich, I call their rich the greedy. They are the rich who make their money destroying others lives. You know the drug companies that make the drug so that it makes a person get rid of whatever ails them but actually destroys their kidneys or liver. While a dem. might have a wholistic health center & republicans do what they can to keep these people from practicing their healing. I have healed more myself by methods that cost me nothing & even stopped taking pills for diabetic naurapathy (pain meds). So I do what I can to help others but I could have staying working in a business that was charging people more money than they should be charged. So rich is not what people mean they mean taking money while harming people. How many rich republicans can you name that are doing work for the betterment of the world. John McCain is he son of an oil heiress. His father bought his senate seat & the man involved in that was proud of helping him instead of being ashamed that some poor man who worked hard his whole life may have deserved it more. McCain collects almost $60,000 a year from military income while others who could really use that don’t have it So replace the word rich with greedy.

We know that most Republicans are not rich. We also know that Republican policies favor the rich. Republicans for the most part are just uninformed and vote against their own best interest. A good example is trickle down economics. I have been successful in the Entertainment industry for about 20 years, I make a lot of money I average about 4 million a year and I’m worth about 60 million. When I get a huge tax break I don’t hire more people. I save it or invest it in the market and make myself more money, or even worse I go on vacation to Europe and spend it there.
My younger brother, a Republican ironically makes about sixty five thousand a year. When he gets a tax break you know what he does with it? He spends it. He buys "widgets" which creates a demand for more "widgets" which means someone has to make more "widgets" and ship more "widgets" and sell more "widgets" in other words it creates jobs. The fact is jobs are created from the bottom up with demand.

Most republicans seem to be middle class, wheras a lot of democrats are working class. therefore to democrats the republicans are rich in comparison.

yes – it’s hysterically funny that poor stupid republicans – which most are – support the Super Rich…

Somehow all these dumb idiots were talked into voting for these slippery republicans who’s only purpose is to fill the pockets of the Super Rich with cash.

Yes – most republicans are poor and stupid and toothless and live in trailers and drink too much and molest their daughters.

The only rich Republicans are on talk radio. And that is the fear and being intimidated liberals have of them, worried somebody might not like them, making them rich.

It common knowledge that the Republicans are always fighting for a two class system, royalty and peasants.

the republican party believes more strongly is a weaker central goverment. Now when you have this that means the people who are less wealthy have more trouble and the people who are rich continue to get richer. The republican party lowers taxes on the rich. Look throughout our history the rich have done better under republican president's one example would be president Hoover, his style of leadership lead America into the Great Depression. President Bush approached the presidency similar to Hoover, in that the net wealth of our county 33% was controlled by less than 1% of the U.S. population.

If that’s fallacious propaganda, then tell me why you never hear a Republican admit they have suffered at the hands of what the Bush administration did.

They’ll defend him til their death while they eat their last can of beans.

The issue of whether Republicans are rich or not is irrelevant. Although for the most part, the higher your income the more likely you are to be a Republican. The question that matters is whose interest to they serve. Also, it's not solely a matter of income but is also a matter of class, which is different from merely income bracket. If you are a union worker that makes $100,000 a year, then the Democrats are much more aligned with your interests. If you are a Republican who makes $100,000 a year off of their investments, then the Republicans are more aligned with your interests.
