Joke question right?
A few studies examining wealth in our nation and all have concluded the blue (democratic) states contain over 70% of our country's wealth... with the majority of that wealth in the New England states.
Btw, a similar study blows the Republican argument that the majority of welfare recipients are democrat. This has turned out to be absolutely false.
While a lot of poor whites and blacks in the South are on welfare and about half are democrat, the MIDWESTERN states of this country has an enormous welfare recipient rate with 85% of those recipients being Republican and white.

Without being negative here, like many people tend to be...
I'm not sure I would say elitist, but it is an actual quantifiable fact that the more educated one becomes, the more likely they are to be democrat. If you look at fields like law and medicine you will have a large majority of democrats. There is nothing wrong with this and it is hard to say why - and it may even be true that a portion of them feel elite because of their education, etc. (but that is certainly not always true). Although as someone pointed out, big business usually tilts towards the Right, becuase the Republicans focus more on individual accountability and entrepreneurship. (Just stating facts here). When you say uneducated and welfare people you are therefore incorrect, at least with regard to uneducated. However, you are likely accurate that people on welfare would favor the democrats because the democrats are for bigger government, socialized welfare and medicine, and are very involved with unions (who just often happen to be less educated). So, you are neither exactly right, nor are you completely out in space.

I have to believe that most of you posting really dumb questions like this one and so many others like it are really paid propagandists, because the alternative would be that there are a slew of idiots out there. The answer, however, is that Democrats represent much more than you have alleged.

You have all kinds of demographics in both parties. Neither party is strictly one thing or another.
There are elitest, poor, rich, educated, uneducated, welfare in both parties.

Both.. the elitists run for office and the uneducated poor people vote them in,, why??? Because they believe that the elitists are for the poor people.. and they really only want to keep them poor and uneducated. and the cycle keeps going on ... poor vote them in and remain poor and uneducated.

Both. It's very difficult to stereotype large groups of people.
