It seems there are more rich Democrats than rich Republicans because Democrats do receive the greatest revenue of political contributions from the rich. There must be a different mind-set developed from the source of their income. Is it "new money vs old money"? Is it "small business vs big busness?" is it "guilt over 'easy' money vs respect for 'hard earned' dollars?" Is it "working with hands" money vs "inside work, no heavy lifting" money? Is the wealth difference related to basic differences of Dem vs Rep such as ... Dem=use govt to level the extremes of life position and Rep=encourage personal effort to rise to higher life postition.
