Re: What would it take?

This is only tangentially related to Trump.

The 8 richest billionaires (maybe Gates reaches TRILLIONAIRE status) are:
Warren Buffett Democrat, has supported republicans
Microsoft's Bill Gates, staunch democrat
Inditex founder Amancio Ortega,
Mexico's Carlos Slim,
Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos, staunch democrat
Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg independent anti-trump
Oracle's Larry Ellison staunch democrat
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg republican turned democrat

Why is it that the Mega rich, in fact the 6 US members of that group could probably solve healthcare or social security or medicare by themselves, are democrats when republicans so often are labeled as the party of the rich?

I am not disparaging these men, I know they all have a charitable side, but it amazes me that democrats have the rich in hollywood, the super rich, and the media elite as their supporters and yet the very poor somehow think these people are on their side.
