Democrats-the party of the rich

  Of course, we all KNOW this. 
  Those of us who aren't idiots, that is. 
  Right Wing News, in an article entitled, "7 Filthy Rich Liberals Railing Against the Rich in Quotes" has quotes from some ridiculously wealthy Democrats who always aim at any conservatives, Republicans or Tea Partiers as "the rich":
In actuality, those guys are only the 59th biggest donors in American politics. Just the six biggest union donors in American politics combined give 15 times more money than the Koch brothers have – and, of course, that money went almost exclusively to Democrats.
The rich vote Democrat as well. Eight of the ten richest congressional districts in America are represented by Democrats. Eight of the ten richest counties in America also voted for Obama.
  In actuality, "the rich" who get railed at against so much by the corrupt Occupy types are really the Jay-Zs, John Kerrys, Warren Buffett, Bill Gateses of the country who contribute millions and millions of dollars to the ruling aristocracy to maintain their statuses, salve their tender egos and make sure the downtrodden subsist on government handouts rather than thrive in an environment that encourages entrepreneurship and productivity.
  The rich Democrats just get richer even while complaining that YOU are driving your car too much.
   Just as one example, the article includes a quote from the fabulously pampered and overpaid Elizabeth Warren, whose p.c. but unsubstantiated claims of Native American heritage have ruffled a few feathers and who collects her almost $1 million yearly while repeatedly lamenting that the "system is rigged" against the little people, even while the fabulously pampered and privileged students paid their annual tuition of about $60,000 and who has a reputation for only helping herself to as much as she can get.
National Review:
Last fall, Warren taught only one class at Harvard Law, yet she enjoys an annual salary of $350,000 — this is in addition to nearly $200,000 in royalties and consulting fees she earned while taking a leave from her academic job to help found president Obama’s Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
  Yeah, so tell me again how Tea Party retiree pensioners like the folks who run this system are gaming the system, are greedy, racist and exclusionary of the poor?
  Yeah, no. 
UPDATE: The American Spectator says it's all "coming apart."
For the past decade the Democrats have managed to defy gravity by bolting together an unlikely coalition of the richest and poorest Americans. It’s no secret. Ever since President Bush’s re-election in 2004, the pattern has been clear. People making above $100,000 and below $40,000 vote Democratic. The people in the middle vote Republican.
But now that top-bottom coalition is about to come apart, or lose its majority status at least. And the issue will be one that may loom larger than the debacle of Obamacare — the Keystone Pipeline.
