under Obama, at least in the long-term.

The Democrats, whether we like it or not, are a middle-of-the-road pro-capitalist party that favors only moderate levels of government regulation and intervention. The Republicans have turned into moonbats that talk about going back to the gold standard and eliminating the income tax.

If I were rich and greedy, and thought I still had plenty of years left, I would still favor the Democrats. Even if self-interest was all I cared about.
