[quote=Anonymous]Because abortion rights matter to them. Because gun control matters to them. Because the environment matters to them. Because the GOP has too many racist, misogynist, religious extremists, and anti-science conspiracy theorists in it. And as another person stated, the really wealthy do just fine under either party.

I know it’s hard for you to understand, but there are people who believe in paying taxes because we understand the importance of infrastructure, social safety nets, national security, scientific progress, environmental cleanup, and other benefits from taxes. Individual, private philanthropy cannot tackle hunger, poverty, education needs, big health concerns, or climate change alone. Not by a long shot. The biggest reductions in poverty in this country were a result of government action—taxpayer dollars at work. And how does the minimum wage ever rise? Through Democrats.

I’m probably not the wealthy demographic you are thinking of (330k HHI, live in PG county, sent my kids to public schools). I grew up poor so I consider myself rich in comparison to where I came from. I see nothing offered by the GOP that appeals to me. NOTHING. [/quote]
