One mystery to me is how Democrats have managed to convince the public that the Republicans are the party of the rich. From what I see, it appears that most of the super rich are Democrats, and are probably fascists. The head of the now defunct Lehman Brothers, who paid himself $480 million over eight years, gave a lot of money to Democrats and not much to Republicans. Lehman gave a lot to Barack Obama. The reason is simple; Democrats protected them from regulations they didn't like, and got regulators to forcebanks to make sub-prime loans. Current events have turned the Democrats on Wall Street now, of course. Here is a blurb about the excreable Henry Waxman's recent hearing.
