Maybe your premises are wrong.

Maybe the Republicans aren't the party of billionaires, but the party of the guy who runs the small business that hires maybe ten to fifty people. Maybe he's a millionaire, and maybe that only if you count his business assets. I don't know. It's hard to peel away the mythology.

If you want the truth, the major corporations and billionaires, unless they are political, tend to spread the wealth between both parties.

The other factor is that raising somebody's taxes by 5 percent or 10 percent isn't going to keep George Soros from living the high life on what's left. It's the guy trying to make a small payroll or get the bills paid who's going to take it in the chin.

As always, this site is very instructive.
