...and made a bizarre 180 degree change like Dennis Miller.

I've only voted for a Republican once, because he was the pro-choice candidate. I usually voted third-party as a young adult because the Dems were too conservative for me.

If I were rich, I would continue to vote Democratic. From a pragmatic point of view, having a shrinking middle class, increased poverty and unemployment, low-wage jobs, poor public education does not make rich folks safer in the long run. I suppose it reduces the competition for jobs for their privileged young, but eventually our society will deteriorate to the point where they will have to start worrying about kidnappings for ransom like the rich of less developed countries.

Ideally, rich people recognize that their wealth wasn't created in a vacuum and they are obligated to give back to a society that allowed them to prosper.
