So whats your take on this?

No sir.

It's a well documented fact the wealthy heavily favored Hillary Clinton

Just as they did joe Biden.

I will concede your point though, and admit biden hasn't served as president yet. And who he helps or not in reality remains to be seen.

31 +15 (undecided) = 46, which is greater than 44 for Biden. Poll also taken 1/2 year prior to actual election.

Yep - 2019, the smart money was already moving away from Trump and made the better decision this November. Who wants to make less money, that’s elitist?

Semantics do not change the fact that the most wealthy people in America by majority support democrats. Or that the most wealthy donors in America supported joe biden.


Who wants to make less money, that’s elitist? I never claimed it was elitist, as much as I claimed that the elite are not stupid, and I agree with you on your point, they went with the man who they thought would make them more money : joe Biden

The working class went with the man they thought would return them more prosperity : Donald Trump

You may be right that more wealthy people vote Democratic.
You may be right that more working class Americans voted for Trump.

Where I disagree with you is what you state in red above...

People do not simply vote for who will make them more money.

Some people vote for gun rights.
Some vote for women's rights.
Some vote with their wallet.
Some vote for the climate.
The list is endless.

Many people vote for a mixture of many different things.
Some people vote for simply just one thing. (My mom votes pro-life. Pure and simple. Many people vote pro-gun. No ifs ands or buts.)

I personally will gladly pay higher taxes for universal healthcare.
I feel strongly that every kid in America should be able to get treatment.
Since you grew up poor, you must've had times when your parents didn't go to the doctor because they couldn't afford it.
I think every American should be able to get free basic healthcare.

So no... I at least do not vote for who will make me more money.

I think the rich make more money under Republicans.
Republicans cut taxes on the rich. Democrats raise taxes on the rich.

I think many of the super rich have so much money that financial decisions do not drive them as much as you think.
Bill Gates has donated 45.5 billion dollars.

DD, sorry, I’m afraid I’ve known several people for multiple presidential elections that vote purely for money. I agree with everything you generally post however. Speaking of the super rich, I wish the super rich would get together and help bail us out of the financial crush we are experiencing now and for the next few years. It’s going to take a lot to dig ourselves out of the Covid hole that will continue to get much deeper.
