Both Democrats and Republicans represent the same constituency: corporate America. That is why most corporations hedge their bets and give money to both parties.
However, Democrats and Republicans do have different voting bases, which should not be confused with their actual constituency. Their constituency actually has a say in what goes on; their voting bases simply vote for one party or the other to make the whole thing appear legitimate. It is faux democracy at its finest.
New York 12 - makes $14,000 more than New York 10 (#3 on the list). You telling me New York 10 is lower middle class?
Next door (west) in district 13 is Rangel, who represents a poor constituency making $18,000+.
Next door (north) in district 15 is Serrano, who represents people making $11,000+.
Democrats cater to people who depend on money - either the poor, who need monetary help - or the rich, many of who use the government to enrich themselves further.
People who depend on money? Thanks. I did a spittake on that one.
Should we move that district to the poorest group?
I don't know. It's your thread.
$57,147 in Malibu is $9,998 in Cleveland.
Several years back I was making $30,000 in Cleveland. Silly me, I could have been making $171,000 in Malibu while partaking in cocktails at Cher's mansion overlooking the Pacific.

I'm just asking the question to these posts that says making so much in one place equals so much in another.
I assume we are talking average income (as opposed to mean, medium, etc).
New York, for example - they have the highest averages and the lowest averages in the same locality. Does this mean the extremely rich bring up the averages that much - whereas the majority of those populations are really poor?
I thought it was an interesting look at the incomes and who represents them.

I'm not sure about the methodology. I'm also not a D or R.
I don't know all the areas the encompass District 33 in California. Malibu, Beverly Hills, Calabasas, Brentwood, and Bel Air do.
Per capita income includes everyone in that specific area. For instance...
Malibu: $74,336 Cleveland: $17,317
So I was making $30K when the PCI in the city of Cleveland was probably around $15K (cuz it was a few years back). And yes I did live in the city limits. That's double...obviously...so it would put me at $150,000 in Malibu.
I lived pretty well in Cleveland too. Average single guy.
The reason why I'm comparing these two places is that you have two polar opposite cities. Obviously Cleveland has hordes of useless punks/wastes/gangsters. Malibu? Not so much.
But the government thinks you have enough. They see someone making $75k as a piggy bank.
Thanks for this pointless anti-tax post but what does it have to do with the OP?.
