Is there a map of which party has more legislators in each state (even if it's divided control)?

Republican millionares get really screwed. Where they live is irrelevant.

Where you live is completely irrelevant. Rich people get screwed automatically for funding things they don't use/need, like public education.

And the people paying all the taxes in those areas are not necessarily Kerry voters, just because the county goes that way.

There are also a lot of wealthy Bush voters in VA, NY, NJ, CT, MA, and son on as well.

The point is, you can't act like Democrats are carrying the tax burden for Republicans just because Bush states get more from the federal government. A lot of the cash that gets spent in those states comes from Republicans.

There are both rich Republicans and rich Democrats.

Both houses vote jointly on some things. It's useful for seeing who would control what states if we still had the old Senate appointment style.
