Who makes more money Republicans or Democrats?

Question

I'm not referring to the policians themselves as I imagine they all make about the same, depending on position and experience. I mean demographically speaking, among the voting constituency, is there a correlation between income level and whether one votes Republican or Democrat?

Answer 1

Republicans < Democrats < Elite Republicans.

Elite Republicans are CEOs, and the runners of wall street. They make the most amount of money, and are generally in the top 5% of the country. Salary is usually over 5 million per year. These people are very well educated, and realize that in the event of a market collapse, they will still have enough money to live a lavish life. Elite Republicans are the equivalent to the Aristocrats. Their kids attend high level schools because their parents can donate large amounts of money to the school.

Democrats: Compose most of the middle class. Doctors, Engineers, and teachers. These people generally go to good schools in legitamate fields (not Medieval studies. And if you don't get this joke you havn't been reading the news. Hint: HP the priner company). Public Education systems in some blue states spend upwards of 30,000. These people are usually located up north where all the main ports and money flow areas are. These people rely on jobs, and realize that if the market collapses, these people are screwed. Democrats are the equivalent of the Artisans. These kids actually earn their way into high level colleges.

Rest of the Republicans:
Mostly bible thumpers. They live away from the coast, and generally have lower IQs, education system, and payment than the the democrats. Generally speaking, if you're smart in red states, you attend private/magnet schools. These people are more concerned with gay marriage, abortion, and Stem Cell research than the welfare of the economy. These people are the equivalent to commoners.

Answer 2

American parties are multi-class and broad based in their electoral support. With the exception of African-American voters — 90 percent of whom voted for the Democratic presidential candidate in 2000 — both the Republican and Democratic parties draw significant levels of support from virtually every major socioeconomic group in society. Although members of labor-union households, for example, are commonly thought to be Democrats, the Republicans can expect in most elections to receive at least one-third of the labor union vote, and in 1984, the party received 46 percent of the union vote. In 2000, union households voted 37 percent Republican. Similarly, while support for Democrats normally declines as income levels go up to a point, Democratic presidential candidates can usually expect substantial support from upper-middle-class voters. In 2000, for example, Democratic candidate Al Gore received 43 percent of the vote among persons whose annual family income was more than $100,000.

Political parties in the United States also exhibit relatively low internal unity and lack strict adherence to an ideology or set of policy goals. Rather, they have traditionally been concerned first and foremost with winning elections and controlling the personnel of government. Given their broad socioeconomic bases of electoral support and the need to operate within a society that is largely middle-of-the-road ideologically, American parties have adopted essentially centrist policy positions. They have also demonstrated a high level of policy flexibility. This non-doctrinaire approach enables the Republicans and the Democrats to tolerate great diversity within their ranks, and it has contributed to their ability to absorb third parties and protest movements when they have occurred.
To say that University Professors, Engineers and Doctors are middle class is misleading at best. Also, please folks do your homework. Look at the number of self-funded multi-millionaire candidates the democrats are trotting out (do I hear Connecticut calling) or the number of candidates that one of the worst criminals of our time (George Soros) is bankrolling discreetly of course, moveon.org, anyone? Then there is also an income point at which there is no distinction of support of either party. So the short answer to the question is; no it does not matter since the difference is within a margin of error that refutes any factual conclusion but there are ranges of income that tend to lean towards one party or the other.

Answer 3

People have different histories that affect their economics. Mine constitutes one group. When I was six my father died. Then the bank failed. So my mother and two children lived on four hundred dollars per year. My mother did not seek charity and refused same. She taught to study, to earn, to save, and to invest. I followed her advice. Now I have gone from the bottom one per cent to the top one percent. I was lucky. My politics, as far as economics determines, is conservative-libertarian Republican. Others might have been tempted into indolence and depending on politicians who promised handout paid for by taxing more productive people. Such unlucky people are likely to be Democrats. They would have done better persaonally if not so tempted, and the national economy would be much stronger.
