1. Why? I know some pretty well off folks who are good dems.
John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, John Edwards to name just a few famous ones.

3. Be Careful stepnw1f
We're not all clueless......Some of us are very clued in and perhaps do more to alleviate poverty than you do. Just chill. Don't assume that all rich folks are greedy self serving assholes. OKAY?

14. Wrong....
I see very little of it.... and things are getting worse. Maybe you don't want to acknowledge that, but millions already do. The wealthy get wealthier and more and more are poor.

And please take notice of how I edited my thread title. If you aren't a "greedy wealthy" person, my post shouldn't really piss you off.

7. The wealthy are not an homogeneous group
Just like the poor aren't. Good and bad character is distributed among all the economic groups.
