Democrats like to define themselves as the party of poor and middle-income Americans, but a new study (by the Michael Franc of the Heritage Foundation) says they now represent the majority of the nation's wealthiest congressional districts. Franc used IRS income data on a state-by-state, district-by-district scavenger hunt (with no agenda other than the truth :) to realize that while more than half of the wealthiest households were concentrated in decidely Democrat-controlled Senate districts, the vast majority of conservative House members hail from profoundly middle-income districts. Franc extrapolates that that pattern shows the likelihood of electing a Democrat to the House is very closely correlated with how many wealthy households are in that district. (Or how few Republican hard core capitalists have found their way into the District yet on the ladder climb to the top). So will the class warfare that’s become a staple in the Democrats political playbook come back to bite them in the butt? How long will they be able to play both sides against the other? Haven’t we always known this? Republicans are the party of NASCAR. Was there ever a NASCAR fan born with a silver spoon in his mouth unless that spoon carried a Yoplait Yogurt or other assorted sponsorships?
