How people of different political persuasions view wealth

With 10's of thousands on this page, let's deal with misconception #1 as noted by Mr. Douglas :
>> White people are rich Republicans <<
This insane notion that all Republicans are rich is an asinine as the statement that "Republicans are only FOR the rich." Do you realize how idiotic you make yourself sound when you type/say that?
#1 - If only rich people were Republicans, Republicans could never win any elections. You libs are always pounding away on "the top 1%...top 5%...top 10%" - you're talking about a miniscule % of the overall population of the country. If only the "top 1%" voted Republican, then instead of winning with 50.6% of the popular vote, as B.O. did in 2012, he would've won with 99% of it.
61 MILLION people voted for the Republican candidate for president. Do you sincerely believe that all 61 million are "rich"? Really? Or that somehow all 61 million are squeezed into the top 10% of income earners? If you do then I'd like to see your math b/c in order for that to be factual, we'd need to have a national population of more like a billion people versus the 300 million we've got.
#2 - If Republicans are only "for the rich", then whats wrong with the overwhelming majority of that 61 million people? They *want* to harm THEMSELVES?? We've established that very few of the 61 million in question are "rich". So if they aren't rich, but the Republican party only "looks out for the rich", that means you have around 59 million people who are voting against their own better interests! These people are voting for a party that is actively trying to harm them? Do you really believe that this many of your fellow citizens are that stupid, hoodwinked, or bent on self-destruction that they're actively trying to empower a political party that only wants to be in power so it can turn around & harm the very voters from whom it derives its power & ability to continue winning? This defies logic and common sense.
So with the thousands of eyeballs on this page, let's run a little experiment. If a) you are currently a registered Republican or you have voted for a Republican candidate in the past, and, b) you are not rich - kindly add a post to this thread and in it state "NOT RICH", & lets just see how many of you there are. On this page do we actually have any "non-rich Republicans"? Let's find out.
(I'll define 'rich' that the way the B.O. admin does; married filing jointly, annual income > $249,000; single, annual income > $200,000)
