I heard Rush say yesterday that Democrats are the party of corporations, is this true?

The are both owned by the corporations.

However it seems like the republicans are more for the 1% because of the simple fact they are the ones who want to eliminate the estate tax!

Then there is the fact they want to institute a flat tax which will only benefit the 1%!

Well....EVERY SINGLE Democrat is by def. a socialist. Stupak proved that when he chucked his career just to skrew America over.

There are a handful of actual conservatives (constitutionalists) in the Rep Party, so the simple answer is Democrat.

Problem is the Dems added to the Big Gov Reps = a supermajority. That's why gov keeps growing no matter which generic party u install, (see GW Bushes 8 year left wing agenda for proof)

Corporations could influence plutocracies. Government, not corporations, establish fascist systems. They usually control all industries under "corporatist" bureaus over each industry. Businesses that balk too much at government control usually are "nationalized."

You won't be able to see the conditions clearly until you drop the envy against successful and productive corporate socialism (owned in common) while government socialism you probably prefer eventually consumes itself.

Look at it this way.

Since Democrats have been running the show these last 5 years:

1. Median family incomes have dropped sharply

2. There are more poor than ever.

3. More people are receiving food stamps than ever.

4. Corporations are having record profits.

5. The Dow is at record highs.

6. The rich are doing better.

What does this tell you?

Forget communism? You won't be saying that when you realize that one party wants you to be enslaved to the government while they grow fat off of us all the while lying through clenched teeth saying they are the party of the working man. Do you know who that is? If is isn't obvious already then maybe you should acquaint your self with a new word, sheeple.

Both parties have corporations as donors. But the Republican party has more corporations that support them as well as more rich people that donate to their campaigns. @sadcat, the Koch brother support the Republican party so does the large majority of Oil companies.

As Democrats primarily fundraiser on the union dime, I would say Big Business prefers Republicans.

No Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerburg, Jeff Bewkes, George Soros, Tim Cook, etc... are all a bunch of right wing fat cats.

@Sadcat, there are corporations that donate to Democrats.

Wall Street gave more money to Obama than to McCain, and he didn't turn it down. Hollywood is a corporation in itself, and they give Obama a lot of money.

Yes, just ask the Koch Corporation, Blackwater, Exxon Mobile, and Domino's. The Democrats are clearly working for companies like those.
