Let's start the rumble with item no 1, unless you earn more than 200K per or have a net worth more than 2M you are just a poor working slob.
Oh, so THAT's how you get to such weird conclusions, you re-define reality. How about: If you earn more than $200K or have a net worth of more than $2M, you ain't poor. You may not be filthy rich, but you ain't poor. One of the wonders of the American capitalist system is that people can start poor and get to those numbers.
If you earn more than $200K, you should reach a point where you are rich, though- -unless you have profligate, spendthrift Demlib habits. If you have those habits, yeah, you're in danger of poverty at any income or asset level.

Most of the Republicans who think they are the backbone of America
They don't think they are the backbone of America; they ARE the backbone of America.

fit neither of these criteria thus they are just poor working slobs who think they rich and deserve the Republican moniker.
By the standards of most Americans, they don't think they are rich, they are. And by world standards, they clearly are. Oh, and just what do you have to do to "deserve the Republican moniker", other than say you are a Republican?

The Kennedy's are the exception to the rule, they understand too bad most other spoiled brats think they deserve all the money.
I'm having trouble translating that gibberish into English, so I'm going to have to guess at what you mean.
This started with
"Those that are rich who never earned it are republicans
You mean like that Republican Senator from Massachusetts, Kennedy?"
Kennedy is hardly the only Old Wealth who is Democratic. He is hardly the only person who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and then bit the hand that fed him. How about that Liberal God, FDR? The Roosevelts ave had money since God was a pup. And there are plenty of others.
