Makes perfect sense. People living in an ivory tower don't understand the struggles of people who have to work for a living.
You also have to remember that millionaires can, worst case, afford the Democrats' utopian fantasies. Best case, the whole reason they're millionaires is they benefit from crony capitalism.
The idea that the GOP is the party of the rich is an outdated stereotype.

Well first I'm sure her District is more than wealthy Palm Beach. I also doubt she lives in Palm Beach. So I don't understand the premise of your post.

Average median income is about $120,000 a year.
That's some serious money compared to most of Florida.
My point here is that the wealth is amazing here. She hasn't a clue hoe real working people live.

I looked up her district-you should too. You'll see it is the old Alcee Hastings district and includes Belle Glade. So yes there are a lot of very poor people in her district.

That statement makes no sense. Her district isn't all incredibly rich people. Also do you know anything about her background or her experiences? Seems like your making an assumption based on no facts.

My connection to DWS is that she is very out of tough with the average American who she pretends to represent.
I get what you are saying. Palm Beach is one of this areas in the US where you see where and how the 1% really live. My problem was when you make a statement like above and have nothing to base it on.
ETA: Take a minute and Wiki Belle Glade-you'll see the other extreme of her district. I think if she reps Belle Glade she knows about the poor.

Poor people vote Democrats to get free stuff. I see your point. Ultra rich vote and give big money to them too stay ultra rich.
That's certainly one viewpoint. Not one I agree with but still a nice meme.

I used to own a place in Boynton Beach, about a block off the ocean. The area is filled with rude Jews. Everywhere you turn. If you ain't Jewish, you're just a "drek shiksa or shagetz".
She is actually perfect for that region. They are all just like her there.
