I'm doing some research on the differences between the attributes of those who subscribe to our two main political parties. I'm wondering if there is a correlation between the average net worth and political affiliation. I'm not talking about Hollywood celebs or business barons, just average everyday people with an interest in politics.

I'll make the poll anonymous, but feel free to post your net worth publicly if you so choose. And, please be honest.

(BTW, I'm clumping libertarians in with repubs)

Why?

I'm not sure I can vote in your poll. You lumped Libertarians with Conservatives and Republicans. I'm a Libertarian, but I have nothing in come with the other two. In fact, I differ on many things which Libertarians on the Right hold dear to them.

I had to make the poll as simple as possible. I know there are vast differences between libertarians and republicans, but if you had to choose between a generic democrat and a generic republican (if no libertarian candidate existed), who would you vote for?

I don't vote! America has been hijacked and our elections are rigged. I'll just move on.

I'm giving the Chris Christie response: It's none of your business.

It's okay Mr. Unidentified, it's an anonymous poll.

Why in the hell did you start everything with "liberal"? I am the poorest of white trash piece of crap hillbilly that could be imagined. The problem is that I was born with a high IQ. My net worth is well north of $20 million. I am still "white trash", but it is better to have money. I am still "white trash" relative to my neighbors, but have done well.

Funny thing- my mother was just over for chow tonight, just back from at two week trip to Europe with my brother (also a white trash piece of crap with a high IQ). My Mom (God Bless her far left leaning, marxist small brain) said to me that she was thankful that her children were blessed with the intelligence and drive to succeed and be prosperous. As she left our door, I thanked her for her genetics, but condemned her lack of use of those attributes and support of a system that would otherwise limit the "prosperity" she has experienced from her children.

Liberalism is certainly a mental disorder.

While I'm not a Liberal or a Conservative, I will call constipation of the brain and diarrhea of the mouth when I see it. You fail, Mario Donkey Kong!!!!!!
