    Democrats' 'Working Man's Party' Image Shattered as IRS Data Reveals the Undeniable Truth

    There’s an old saw that blue-collar working-class voters are the bedrock of the Democratic Party.
    The Democratic Party is now undeniably the party of the wealthy.
    According to Bloomberg, IRS data from 2020 shows that Democrats represent 65 percent of taxpayers with a household income of $500,000.
    Meanwhile, the same data establishes that 74 percent of taxpayers in Republican districts have household incomes of less than $100,000.
    A somewhat less scientific analysis from 2020 reinforced that the GOP is the party of working Americans. According to The Cook Political Report, 85 percent of counties with a Whole Foods store voted for Joe Biden over Donald Trump, while only 32 percent of counties with a Cracker Barrel Old Country store did so — a “culture gap” of 53 points.

    And, according to a Vox report from 2016, top-end wealth in America over the past several decades “has increasingly concentrated in a handful of metropolises. … Most of these very prosperous cities (especially New York, San Francisco, Boston, and Los Angeles) have become very solidly Democratic.”
    “The places with the largest concentrations of wealth,” Vox said, “are now disproportionately represented by Democrats. In 2014, 17 of the 25 wealthiest congressional districts … were represented by Democrats. And overall, the median household income in Democratic-represented congressional districts was about $2,000 more than the median household income in Republican-represented districts.”
    Even the 2016 version of Joe Biden recognized the tectonic shift in party demography. During an interview with Joe Scarborough on MSNBC that year, Biden described his party as a bunch of “limousine liberals” who failed to connect with “working-class voters.”

    43.4% capital gains tax might kill the golden goose that is America/Silicon Valley. People need an incentive to build long term #startups of value. In California, that would be a 56.4% tax burden. >50% Spells death to job creation.

    Whether Democrats’ opprobrium toward wealth owes to socialist influences or to guilt based on misguided notions that any success is the result of “our history of slavery, genocide, dispossession, and discrimination,” as one liberal academic has claimed, the undeniable fact remains that the Democrat Party is now the silver spoon set.

    not right wing according to: The Guardian - Media Bias Fact Check




    LEFT-CENTER BIAS

    These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation. See all Left-Center sources.

    But bsm2 is extreme left so to him everything is a right wing rag. He probably even thinks Pravda is right wing.

    You really should read the article Slim. It is about how the NY Post forced a reporter to write a false story about vp Harris.
    Anything else you want to say?

    Remember those people that we were told that weren't real? Well, a REAL judge just did this:




    Rioter Gets 4-Years, $12M Fine for Arson at Minneapolis Police HQ


    A 23-year-old white male will spend the next four years in prison and pay a $12 million fine for his part in helping to burn a Minneapolis police station in the aftermath of the George Floyd murder.


    On the night of May 28, 2020, Dylan Shakespeare Robinson, 23, helped ignite a Molotov cocktail for another person to throw at the MPD Third Precinct Headquarters, according to the Daily Mail and federal statements on the case. Prosecutors said he was part of a four-man conspiracy to commit arson on the building and also helped tear down perimeter fencing at the site.



    Nearby stores such as Wendy’s, Target, Walmart, and AutoZone also suffered looting and fire damage as a result of the rioting.


    Surveillance cameras purportedly captured Robinson on the night of the arson attack, according to MPD disclosures.



    A federal multi-agency effort is tasked with investigating the violent incidents.


    “On the night of May 28, 2020, Mr. Robinson chose to depart from lawful protest and instead engaged in violence and destruction,” Acting U.S. Attorney Anders Folk said about the case.


    The St. Paul Division of the ATF also sounded off on the matter.


    “ATF is committed to investigating the civil unrest arsons of 2020 that occurred throughout the Twin Cities,” said Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jeff Reed.


    “[The] sentencing sends a clear message—regardless of motivation, when someone is intent on conducting a violent act that breaks federal law, the FBI and our law enforcement partners will move assertively to hold them accountable,” added Special Agent in Charge Michael Paul of the FBI.


    Bryce Michael Williams, 27, Davon De-Andre Turner, 25, and Branden Michael Wolfe, 23, co-conspirators in the case, each already pleaded guilty to single counts of conspiracy to commit arson and face sentencing at later dates.

    haha you should read it a bit more often than make a knee-jerk reaction. This review on trustpilot sums up The Guardian,
    Endless spiteful virtue signalling

    Endless spiteful virtue signalling, they capitalise on all the tick box progressive issues of our time, offering nothing but middle class self loathing courtesy of journalists privileged enough to weather the storm they help create.
    When you think you have made a procedure idiot proof your company employs a better idiot.

    Haha. Another one with a reading disability. The article I posted is about the NY Post forcing one of its reporters to write a false story about vp Harris. Please gather all the applicable information before making comments. You just make yourself look silly when you don't.
