In a hypothetical world, if the Democrats adopted lowering taxes would they attract the wealthy educated subset of the Republican party leaving the party with only the lower income poorly educated white subset?
I think the democratic party already is (the party of the lower income, poorly educated individual), I think democrats strive to keep that status as well, they certainly exploit it as they see fit.

Well, of course they do. If they didn't then they would have no voting base. Why do you think they work so hard to keep the minorities as slaves of the system?
No. Every time the Democrats move to the right, the Republicans respond by moving further to the right.
Since when have the Democrats moved to the right? If anything, the Republicans have moved further left with their out of control spending under Bush, and now made exponentially worse by Obama.

First of all, that will never happen. Democrats can do nothing but spend and tax.
But for arguments sake, doubtful. My problem with Dems is far from only about taxes. Entitlement programs, over-regulation, environmental activism, hypocrisy, etc.
No. Why do you assume that the people who continue to identify themselves as Republicans would be lower income poorly educated whites? Do you have some statisitics to back up your racist post?
Check out the election results in Kentucky between Rand Paul the Tea Party candidate and Jack Conway the Democrat and check out the election results in McCreary County, Leslie Country, Clay County, Knox, Jackson and Martin County. All these county's are listed as among the 100 poorest counties in the country based on per capita income. all of them have less than $11,000 per capita income. All have less then 60% of the population age 25 or older with high school diploma's. All have a population of less than 12% of the population age 25 and over with a bachelor degrees and all have well over 90% of the population White and all of these counties have at least 27% of the population living below the poverty level. All of these counties voted at least 60% for the Tea Party candidate for the U.S Senate Rand Paul.

See your question is flawed from the outset.....The Dem. party is the ones filled with rich white(liberal elite)people.

If dems lowered taxes, the right would still complain.
Correct because the Demorats under this hypothetical scenario would lower taxes, and then triple spending again..
