    Actually, for a long time the rich have been Democrats. In my opinion, they got inside the government during the New Deal and from there they got control of education and they branched out to choke off the arts and humanities and then they because the leaders of corporations.

    They have been very immoral because they are not Christian people but people who support abortion and same-sex marriage. Mostly, they have wanted cheap labor so that they could live like European aristocracy.

    The famous American historian Victor Davis Hanson talks about the two states inside California, but he could say the same about Indiana, also.

    Is there something inherently wrong with being rich?

    Doesn't every business owner want to minimize labor costs?

    No, there is nothing wrong with being rich and VDH says that in the video.

    Yes, the iron law of wages says that wages will be pressed to the floor. Illegal immigrants save the very rich tons of money in their corporations such as those who have warehouses in Indianapolis, for example. Illegals can be hired through temp services and be deprived of benefits. If they become ill, they are forced onto welfare. I remember the case of a young pregnant woman who was fired as soon as they found out she was pregnant when she got morning sickness at work.

    VDH goes after the masters of the universe for monopolistic practices and tax dodging as well as globalization. Remember all big cities have thousands of homeless because their jobs have gone to cheaper labor.

    I guess the Brits say that it's no sin to be poor just very inconvenient.

    Everything in moderation. Was the slave owner wrong? Pretty much anything carried to its extreme is wrong.

    Are you attacking Islam for allowing slavery and having slaves today?

    There is nothing about Islam I like. What is the point of your question?

    People are getting thrown off YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Patreon money for telling the truth about Islam. Islam, as you know, still has slaves and slave markets and approves of slavery. The alliance between the international left and Islam is very dangerous at this time.

    Here are the facts. Republicans have always been the party of the rich at least in the 20th and 21st centuries. This seems to be changing due to the billionaires created by high-tech start-up companies.

    Just because the top 4% of earners tend to vote Republican doesn't mean that most of the upper 2% or so ARE Republicans. It could be that there are more Democrats among the super wealthy than there are Republicans, which is the point Church Mouse Guy is asserting.

    Surely you know the difference between more Democrats who are individuals of wealth than Republicans and rich people that vote for Republicans for whatever reason....wait....maybe you don't.

    So do you accept this statement? "Actually, for a long time the rich have been Democrats."

    "It could be that there are more Democrats among the super wealthy than there are Republicans, which is the point Church Mouse Guy is asserting."

    Anything "could be" among Trumpites. He doesn't say "it could be." He says "have been for a long time."

    Not necessarily. But I do accept the premise behind the OP's thread title. "The Rich are All Democrats Now". There are more wealthy Democrats in politics and there is more money being contributing to Democrats than there are Republicans. I would say the turning point was in the 1990's, and not during the New Deal as the OP asserts.

    I'll go with my data and say the change came between 2008 and 2012. Do you have any data to support your guess?

    No, not hard data, but I'm sure it could be found. Just a general collection of loose facts I've collected as a political observer over the years.

    The voting records of the richest areas of the USA show that they are Democrat strongholds. The Masters of the Universe are all leftist Dems as is the Prime Minister of the Universe Bezos.

    Another one of the richest men in the world Carlos Slim is an extreme leftist who really hates the USA.
