Four years of life "matters little"?
Interesting value system there, Personally, I'll opt out.
Bad things happen,you weren't guaranteed happiness,just the ability to pursue it.
That seems to be a common problem with a lot of people,their inability to grasp that they aren't owed anything and don't deserve anything simply for being.
Hate to break it to you but all that touchy-feely doodoo was a lie...
Back to the thread, can we all agree that this Rich againts poor class war fare nonsense from the Democrats is hypocritical at best. I for one think it is great for Democrats to be filthy rich like John Edwards, just stop trying to prevent and place guilt on the rest of us from doing the same.
No, we cannot "all agree." What's so hypocritical about being rich and being for economic policies that might negatively affect your wealth yet benefit the middle and lower classes?
Or do you have to be poor in order to be an advocate for the poor?

I agree,back to topic.
Neither party cares that much about the people,one party just knows how to pander better.

I don't agree with your premise at all. Just how does some wealthy districts being represented by Democrats preclude them from continuing to represent poor/middle-class districts and looking out for those interests?
To me your argument is akin to saying if someone likes/eats steak then they can't like/eat lobster. Ever hear of Surf & Turf?

Well sir, I hate to break it to YOU, but nothing in the Constitution immunizes you from taxes, or the redistribution of your wealth by democratic means in order to maintain a decent standard of living for all citizens.
Neither party cares that much about the people,one party just knows how to pander better.
Again, I ask the question: Do you or do you not agree that with 90% Democratically controlled Congress and Democratically controlled Presidency, that populist reforms in healthcare and labor would pass easily?
Interesting value system there, Personally, I'll opt out.
To be 'outraged' over how poorly the USA performs when it comes to life expectancy when the actual stats show a difference of only four years is simply silly.
Especially when those espousing some form of universal healthcare point to nations that performed better by less than a year....and at an incredible financial cost.
To be honest I wish some of you would post what your plans in re: universla healthcare were....it would be interesting to read.

I'm saying that given the number of small businesses in the US the sample size in the poll cited by the blog seems insignificant .
You made the claim of "vast majority" so it's up to you to supply proof, I don't believe that blog is sufficient.
