Democrats like to blame/demonize the rich, when Democrat-supported unions have been the single largest jobs factor the past 10+ years, with 5.372 million manufacturing jobs lost (many in the auto industry obviously) from May 1999 to May 2009, and, lord knows how many jobs were chased away by unions. The devastation extends far beyond manufacturing also.
Plus, Teachers Unions in many cases have hampered education reform. There are non-manufacturing unions, like public sector transportation unions, whose pay and benefits are far out of whack with the private sector.
Also, the Federal Government's average salary, at about $71,000, far exceeds the $40,000ish average private sector salary, AND, the Federal Government's benefits are much better than the private sector's, something like quadruple the private sector's.
Lastly, exploding Federal spending is the REAL problem, not "the rich," since the top 1% pay about 40% of income taxes and the top 10% pay about 70% of income taxes, and, skyrocketing health care/insurance is like an annual tax hike.
The Democrats are simply often dishonest and corrupt, not to mention incompetent (leadership and many non leadership), which is why they'll probably get smashed in this November's mid-term election.
