sorry i shoulda been to the point and said theyre DUMB and suffer from what you posted below in your last paragraph as do REPUBLICANS.
Voters dont know their own parties TRUE politics.
ask a person why they vote they way they do.
a repub or a demo will say "because they represent me."
ok.
can you honestly say the republicans represent the majority of people in this country that voted for them?

The median net worth of the bottom 40% of families declined, while those at the top experienced gains in their net worth. Want specifics? The average family's income fell 2.3%, from $72,400 in the 1998-2001 period to $70,700 in the 2001-2004 period (adjusted for inflation). Part of this can be attributed to the stock market's slump during the period. During the boom years of 1998 to 2001, average income soared by 17.3%. Another factor is a 6.2% decline in median real wages.
Note that average numbers can be misleading, if some extreme numbers at the top or bottom skew things, so it's often good to look at median numbers, which represent the middle of the batch. In this case, median income rose a bit -- up 1.6% to $43,200.
Meanwhile, fewer families are investing in stocks, which doesn't bode well for their long-term fiscal health. The percentage of families investing in stocks fell from 51.9% to 48.6%.
Median net worth rose just 1.5%, to $93,100, between 2001 and 2004, versus a pop of 10.3% in the previous three years and a 17.4% increase in the three years before that. Meanwhile, mortgage debt increased significantly on account of the continued housing boom of recent years. (Home prices surged almost 27% during the period, and the ranks of homeowners rose to 69.1% of the population. Overall household debt jumped a whopping 33.9% to a median value of $55,300. Not surprisingly, the portion of household income devoted to paying off debts rose to 14.4% from 12.9%.
Do you get the picture? Many Americans are not doing as well as they may appear.
because they vote DUMB.

white america fights more than any other race to keep an image of superiority and more holy than thou, because of this societal "no-no's" fall on the heads of minorities even if they are not to "blame". Time to wake up
