The article isn't very long, but very interesting.  How much of it do you agree with?

There are plenty of rich Democrats and Republicans. Jon Corzine and Mark Warner are both wealthy, but were both the first from their families to attend college. Russ Feingold is the poorest man in the Senate. On the other hand, Rick Santorum was poor as a child.

What matters is how they vote and the legislation they propose. The Republican agenda always supports the rich elite/multi-national corporations and the Democrats usually support the working American.

By the way, that thing about Howard Dean being an heir to the Dean-Witter brokerage is a widespread myth. His dad was a stockbroker and he did grow up on Park Avenue, but his dad was NOT the Dean in Dean-Witter.

Bill Frist's family-owned HCA, the largest chain of for-profit hospitals in the country, paid out the largest Medicare fraud settlement in history.

Why hasn't this gotten any press?
