The Wealthy Democrats

I, too, used to believe that the Republican Party was the party of the wealthy and didn't care about us working stiffs or retirees for that matter. I was under the impression, fed to me by Democrats, that all Republicans cared about was lining their pockets to get rich. Those beliefs were based on false assumptions.

We even see people such as Democrat Maxine Waters living in a 6 million dollar house who continues to get over 77% of the vote in her district populated by poor people. Her district 43 includes the high crime/high gang area of South Central LA.  Nancy Pelosi's worth is estimated at $120 million.

According to Money Magazine the top ten wealthiest people in our country are mostly all Democrats.
  1. Jeff Bezos – net worth $109.9 billion – Democrat
  2. Bill Gates – net worth $93.3 billion – Democrat
  3. Warren Buffett – net worth $87.2 billion Democrat
  4. Mark Zuckerberg – net worth $77.5 billion – Democrat
  5. Larry Page – net worth $54.9 billion – Democrat
  6. Larry Ellison – net worth $54.7 billion – Republican & Democrat supporter
  7. Sergey Brin – net worth $53.3 billion – Democrat
  8. Charles Koch – net worth $48.6 billion – Republican
  9. David Koch – net worth $48.6 billion – Republican
  10. Rob Walton – net worth $47.9 billion – Democrat

Thanks, Lynn, for this info. Now we know the real reason why Republicans give tax breaks to the wealthy: because they want to make Democrats rich!

Facts aren't important to 9:56, I'm happy for anyone legitimately wealthy but don't be a hypocrite expecting the rest of us to be socialist. The wealthy keep us going.
