I've yet to hear one Republican with the guts to admit, Gordon Gekko style, that they love plutocracy and loathe the lower classes. Why so gutless? The Koch drones will vote for them no mattter what they say.

Why the hating ? Your party is in power. Don't like how it's working out and looking for a scapegoat ?
I guess the Repubs in the House will have to do.

I didn't think Pluto was any longer considered a Planet ?

I do like Pluto the dog from the old Disney cartoons. That makes me a Plutodogcrat.

That's funny. You say this while the biggest crony capitalist the world has ever seen is in the White House, and under his watch we have the highest level of poverty in over fifty years, and about 20% of all family households are on Food Stamps, while the stock market soars. But go ahead, and blame the Republicans instead.

FAIL.. We HATE Plutocracy, but thats what happens with Democratic policies

When you shut out competition, by creating new policies limiting growth, then the only people left are those who can buy influence, yep, Democratic policies at work, while you celebrate and blame Republicans..

Look at how you guys are high 5ng the sales tax proposal, put forward by GOOGLE...

Conservatives want the poor to be able to move out of their current income stratum. Democrats count on the poor remaining there.

I am confused by your post. I read so many from the left on C.D that the repubs are the lower/redneck/white trashy populace.....so why would we love a plutocracy? The elites are sitting in the White House now eating Kobe beef for breakfast lunch and dinner, and the display of wealth coming from the house and senate members is just breathtaking...the cars they drive...mmmmm delicious...the houses and staff....mmmm I envy. The rich bay area leftist I had such a belly full when working for them...there is nothing "common" in their homes....believe me. We have traded places

Republicans support the rich because they opperate from the philosophy..."Think it, before you become it".

How can you raise taxes on your future...imagined position?
How can you pass laws agaisnt practices, that you one day hope to be doing?

that is why you hear so much pushback about "going after the 'wealth creators' ". they see themselves as one day being wealth creators.

With hard work and tight boot straps...everyone can be a Billionaire.


Once a boot-licker...always a boot-licker
