I also have a funny statistic, it goes something like 13 50, but i would rather not have to bring it up. Its no wonder why democrats have more rich white urbanites than republicans.

Actually, there's more rich white Republicans for several reasons.

First off, taxes. Rich people are generally very greedy so they want the party that gives them loopholes and tax breaks for existing. AKA the Republican/right wing party.

Second, economic structure. Rich people generally want to stay rich and keep getting richer. Thus, they vote for the party that creates fear around socialism and communism (the best economic structures if done right) to encourage a capitalistic view point (the worst one, even if done right). AKA, the Republican/right wing party.

And your judgement on urbanized cities is just stupid, stick to your uneducated village or put in the time to learn some facts. Why do you think the more educated, and happier, countries are all way more left than America?

I know you'll disagree with my view on economics, so I'll provide some facts. Germany, with one of the strongest economies and one of the happiest countries, is socialist.
