1. And there you have it. Kick!

There are a lot more of us with < million than >= million.

[Agschmid]

2. So based on this we should all vote for Christie?

He has the lowest support of the millionaires.

Nah...

[MADem]

5. Ha ha ha!

Thread WIN!!

Boom!!!!

[DFW]

13. The unasked question remains

We see about the purported preferences of millionaires, but what about the millionaiahs? Not to mentions the billionaiahs?

[stillwaiting]

23. It's very possible you just might be missing a small point here. Maybe. nt

[Agschmid]

27. What point?

Please educate me...

[stillwaiting]

30. If you don't see the point, then I'm pretty sure we don't believe the same things

regarding where we are at in our nation's history.

No educating required. It's a worldview.

[workinclasszero]

24. LOLOLOL

[Hoyt]

3. I think FDR had plenty of support from the wealthy too.

[starroute]

8. He had some in 1933 but it didn't last

Once he figured out that conventional remedies wouldn't cure the Great Depression and went all socialist-y, the millionaires jumped ship pretty darn quick.

Do you think Hillary would be as ready to abandon her current allies and change course when she discovers her love of Wall Street and neoliberal policies aren't working?

[DFW]

15. As to that last question, I think she would be, actually.

When she saw her campaign wasn't going to get her nominated in 2008, she got on board with Obama's (very successful) candidacy. Once she saw it was how history was gonna go, she never looked back.

If inaugurated, I suspect she'd invite Mitch McTurtle (if he's still Majority Leader) to a quick ultimatum: "none of this 'one-term' shit. I'm ready to play ball if you wanna do that, and I'll play war if you wanna do that."

[JonLeibowitz]

17. You are joking right?

She kept running past when she had a chance because 'Well you know Robert F. Kennedy got assassinated so....'. Give me a break.

[KMOD]

4. So millionaires want the same thing that,

men, women, liberals, moderates, non-whites and voters over age 45 want.


Interesting.

[MADem]

7. Sure looks that way! nt

[Eric J in MN]

6. 55% of millionaires want a Republican to be the next president.

41% of millionaires want a Democrat to be the next president.

[JohnnyRingo]

9. Are people inherently bad based on wealth?

Gates, Rooney, Mahar, DeBartolo, and Buffet just to name a few good democrats off the top of my head. Three of those open their homes to the Obamas when they're in their town.

Having a million bucks doesn't automatically make someone a Koch brother, and not everyone gains their fortune through evil means and greed.

I've heard that one can make a poll say anything they want, but you're playing this one like Jeff Dunham.

[daleanime]

10. Are people inherently selfless based on wealth?

[JohnnyRingo]

20. Human nature usually trancends wealth

Money changes some for the worse, but it's not a given. Certainly a sense of philanthropy and good will survives wealth for most.

One only has to look at most of Hollywood's greatest and the musicians who selflessly donate both time and money to help those less fortunate. Zuckerburg, Gates, and Buffet's race back to zero and Clinton's Global Initiative are the very spirit of good will.

Being wealthy does not make one greedy or evil. Those are traits that likely existed before the windfall.

[daleanime]

25. How about....

the desire to keep more then you can use or need?

[JohnnyRingo]

29. Don't most of us have more than we can use or need?

If we didn't have disposable income we wouldn't have cable TV and the internet. Places like Amazon and Dillards would shutter, but none of us consider ourselves greedy. Most of the 99% live our lives more frivolously than Mother Theresa who truly gave away everything she didn't need.

I know there are many below the poverty line, and I have family members who do, but the argument that wealth alone means one is selfish doesn't hold water. The Waltons and the Kochs may be the poster children of the rich & famous, but they have counterparts who are generous and giving.

[pnwmom]

11. So? The non-millionaire Dems heavily support Clinton over Sanders, too. n/t

[Jack Rabbit]

12. No surprise to me

Hillary promises to continue the policies of the last three and half decades which benefit only the rich. Why shouldn't they wnat her?

[Scuba]

22. /\_/\_This right here_/\_/\

[slipslidingaway]

37. +1 nt

[99th_Monkey]

14. WHO could have guessed?

.. besides that Clintons are multi-millionaires themselves. .. oh, and Goldman Sachs ... and
did I mention Walmart, General Electric Co., Exxon Mobil Corp., Microsoft Corp. or Boeing Co.?

Millionaires For Hillary! <--Evil bumper sticker

[LuvLoogie]

16. She's favored across all income levels, no?

[Hepburn]

19. Not hardly

I would guess that a Clinton sign at a tRump rally might not get much positive attention.

[LuvLoogie]

31. I don't see how the number of Clinton signs at a Trump rally gives any indication

as to the income level at those rallies. Nor does it give any representative percentages. Nor does it support your contrary assertion of "Not hardly"

[Hepburn]

32. Whooooooooooooosh! n/t

[LuvLoogie]

33. Please explain.

[highprincipleswork]

18. That should tell you something.

[Betty Karlson]

21. Says it all, really.

Clinton is in it for the 1 %. Not for me. She never was.

[reformist2]

26. Millionaires feel VERY comfortable with Clinton... I don't want them feeling comfortable at all.

[Agschmid]

28. So your voting for Chrisie then?

He is the only one millionaires don't seem to feel comfortable with.

[Fawke Em]

40. That's not the only criteria.

But, thanks for playing.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

34. Well, they bailed her out when she was "dead broke" and expect her to be grateful.

[Live and Learn]

35. K&R nt

[Ino]

36. 9/11! 9/11!

They're just grateful to her for representing them on 9/11!!!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

38. That's all one needs to know!

It says everything!

Bernie MUST BE the nominee or this country goes full throttle OLIGARCHY. The government has been bought and paid for already. We have to stop this. Bernie is our only hope. HRH, is part of the problem. That's a fact.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[Fawke Em]

39. Wasn't a surprise to me. eom

[Hepburn]

41. Well, knock me over with a feather...

...the wealthy favor Hillary? Shocked, I am totally shocked!

Just in case -------->

[in_cog_ni_to]

42. Kick for TRUTH! n/t
