    The Democrats are the party of remaining poor forever. The Republicans are the party of providing opportunity to stop being poor, working hard and making money.

    And how exactly do you suggest that the people on welfare get the financial support to run for office? Of course most of the politicians of both parties are either rich or VERY well off. The difference is that OUR rich politicians care about the poor and don't mind giving up one of their six annual vacations or one of their three mansions in order to help starving or homeless people. YOUR rich politicians on the other hand NEVER get enough to find any compassion for the less fortunate. That's the difference!

    Party of the poor and middle class. LOL

    Party of keeping people poor and middle class. They want two classes. One poor and one elitist and filthy rich.

    More like the party that keeps you poor and dependent.

    Because representing the poor is not the same as actually BEING poor.

    They don't mind spending other people's money...it's their own money they don't want to part with!
