My household is several X the national average, so don't you worry about me, petch.
I'm just not a water carrier for the 1%. The rich can take care of themselves, which is why I find it sad and pathetic to watch the plebes lick their boots.
What, do you think they'll kick you some scraps or something? Good luck:
The income gap between the richest 1 percent and the rest of America last year reached the widest point since the Roaring Twenties.
The top 1 percent of U.S. earners collected 19.3 percent of household income in 2012, their largest share since 1928. And the share held by the top 10 percent of earners last year reached a record 48.2 percent.
U.S. income inequality has been growing for almost three decades. But it grew again last year, according to an analysis of IRS figures dating to 1913 by economists at the University of California, Berkeley, the Paris School of Economics and Oxford University.
Last year, the incomes of the top 1 percent rose nearly 20 percent compared with a 1 percent increase for the remaining 99 percent.
I think that Republicans tend to diirect their efforts toward living well and making money - hence prefer careers outside of politics - while Democrats tend to devote their efforts toward telling others how to live.
Democrats do love to tell others what to do. Think about your family, friends. It is hard to determine what law would benefit each one of them because everyone is different and have different issues. yet democrats think they know what is best for millions.
When I was growing up I looked forward to moving out of my parents home. I never said I wanted to stay so they could tell me what to do. I don't get why people like government telling them what to do. Has government become a replacement for parents. Who knows.
Republicans do supply side tax cuts (they are defined as tax cuts for the rich and large corporations.)
Republicans want 0% tax rates on capital gains (so rich CEO's will get 0% federal tax rates.)
Republicans want corporate deregulation (this gives rich CEO's huge amounts of money.)
And then republicans oppose welfare for the poor, high min wage laws, tax credits for low income workers, workers unions, healthcare for all, helping home foreclosure victims, ex.ex.
Who could say republicans are not the party of the rich?
Democrats want to take money from a successful person so they can buy people like you.
Republicans are the party of the working and middle class. They want lower taxes for everyone. Democrats want to tax everyone into oblivion, they just know the poor have nothing to give but their vote can be bought.
The fact is anyone can become RICH in this country if their willing to WORK, and work HARD. Put the hours in, there are plenty
of jobs out there..hell the illegals r all working because many Americans are too lazy and would rather take welfare..
Another problem is the growing number of NON-PROFITS who don't pay taxes. Cushy jobs that don't pay into the system..

So Republicans are the party of the rich, working class, and middle class??
I pay taxes, I must be rich, thanks for telling me, I never knew.
I make pretty good money. When a democrat is in power I am rich. They say I can buy yachts, private planes, a couple mercedes. When a republican is in office I am middle class. I can pay my way but I am not rich and can't afford yachts, private planes, mercedes.
I know what I can buy afford and democrats are way off.

I make decent money myself, yet I am by no means rich, yet I pay taxes.
