" that top 1% that you guys hate so much? They PAY THE BILL." Why are you so sure they are all repubs??? And I sure as hell don't hate them, I'm one of them.... I can't find out what % of the top 1% are repubs but the following quote from the Wash. Post and the LA Weekly on March 26 says something about voter demographics.. From Monday's Washington Post: "In 2000, the voters in 17 out of 25 of the nation's most affluent counties -- all with high percentages of people with advanced degrees -- cast majorities for Al Gore, sometimes by more than 70 percent...." LA Weekly Writer Johnny Angel adds: "In 1988, Bush beat Dukakis among the wealthy by 25 points--in 2000, his son beat Gore by [only] 7 points among the wealthy." So maybe there are some compassionate republicans but there may be a lot of wealthy dems also.....maybe you ought to reset your thinking....
