#10 Yeah, because Jon Corzine an Warren Buffet are such good Republicans, along with the rest of the Goldman Sachs crowd that pumped about $850,000 into the Obama campaign. |

#9 Forget about taxing the rich, or not, that is not the issue. The utterly stupendous waste of federal spending is the main issue. All this talk about favoring the rich only serves to divide the electorate & distract them from what is goind on. |

#8 The Democrats believe everything comes from a central government. The Republicans believe in the freedom and intelligence of a free market. Through honesty and hard work, one might make it. The crony capitalism or socialism doesn't work except for an elite few. There's not much honesty in redistribution of wealth--taking from one person and giving to another based on some distorted view of social justice. |

#7 If you ever want to be rich (through honest hard work): the GOP is the party for you. |

#6 Dems get the overwhelming majority of 7 figure donations, so yeah, this makes sense. /sarcasm |

#5 We don't have any rich Republicans around here. They are mostly fairly regular people. If Obama stays in office, they will be classified as "poor." |

#4 Personally I think more money is controlled by Dems than Trunks. I think I saw a study to that effect once. |

#3 The article insinuates a lot. What it doesn't say is why the Republicans still fight for lower taxes (because they believe in the Laffer Curve) despite the fact that wealthy Democrats in blue states would be the primary beneficiaries of such tax cuts (principles). The left simply cannot understand not shivving your enemy at every opportunity. |

#2 That's why 7/10 top wealth senators are democrat? |
