You're right. The ultra-wealthy are by and large totally devoted to socialist causes and the Republicans are in no way dedicated to lessening the tax 'burden' on the ultra-wealthy.

I frankly don't know how anyone could disagree.

Socialism is for the "Little people."

Actually, the richest of the richest in America are usually liberal and more often than not, Democrat.

This is silly. Politicians of either party tend to be wealthy. I don't know why, but something about our political system favors the wealthy. You've gotta love how our last presidential election was between two guys from well-connected, rich families in new england, both from Yale, both from the same secret society, etc., yet one tried to portray himself as a good 'ole boy from Texas.

They are often not very capitalist minded either. They like old elitist inherited money. People like Bill Gates drive them nuts!

So wealthy liberals inherit money, wealthy conservatives go out there and earn it?

Man, I guess I shouldn't be surprised hearing bullshit like this coming from someone with Nixon in his name.

But the huge corporations who provide their wealth, are the main support and funding of the republican party. That way they are assured they stay the richest of the rich.

Nope. Corporations are almost split down the middle. Just as many "evil" corporations support the left as the right.

I dont consider corporations evil. It is the greed of the stockholders and CEO's that is evil. In fact, I do believe "greed" is one of the unacceptable sins listed in the 10 Commandments.

You might want to take a closer look. Once you get past page 4, the biggest majority of the money goes to Republicans by most of the richest corporations. I dont believe corporate money should go to fund any politician, but this definately proves who gets the money, and it aint the Democrats.
