Nancy reacts to news that some “poor” people are smart enough not to want her “help.” First she is shocked- then scared.

This piece by Michael Franc is just delicious. As the title suggests, the Democrats finally wake up to who they really represent. They, not Republicans, are the party of the rich. Ah, such irony for the pseudo-political thinkers who attack Republicans because they “don’t care about the little guy.”

Well, then why are so many little guys voting for Republicans? Maybe it’s because most of the little guys out there aren’t as stupid as the elite would like to think they are. Some are- which is how Democrats took over Congress in the last election. But most are not. I’m not, nor am I rich. Indeed, I earn a bit less than any of the median incomes noted in the piece and I certainly would never vote for Democrats.

My objection to Democrats is firmly grounded in moral reasons. I simply could not cast a ballot in favor of a party as morally repugnant as the one represented by a jack ass. But a close second reason is the fact that Republicans represent every clear-thinking American. They mostly want lower taxes for everybody. Do the rich benefit more from an across the board tax cut? Of course they do.

But imagine a family just getting by suddenly finding that their income increased by 10% thanks to a tax cut? That 10% could mean the difference between a happy retirement verses one merely existing on Social Security. Or, it could mean the difference in a better college for their now five year old son. A whole host of possibilities open up to people when they get to keep more of their incomes.

Here is the telling portion of the piece:

“Democratic politicians prosper in areas of concentrated wealth even in staunchly Republican states such as Georgia, Kansas and Utah. Liberal congressman John Lewis represents more than 27,500 high-income households in his Atlanta district. The trend achieves perfect symmetry in Iowa. There, the three wealthiest districts send Democrats to Washington; the two poorest are safe Republican seats.”

As I’ve noted before, it is lunacy to put Dems in power and I’m glad to see more people are realizing that fact. This must be scary to Democrats who drone on about income distribution, class warfare, and wealth disparities. Because if indeed the truth is ever realized by most Americans then Democrats will never be elected again.

And the world, or at least America, will be a much, much better place.
