if dollars were votes

[Burn baby, Burn]

if everyone voted with the strength of the ammount of money they make in a year, plus their current assets/liabilities, how would the election turn out

I think this question is much different in canada then the US. canadian stats show that if you make 20K your more likely to vote conservative then if you make 10K, and if you make 30K, more then 20K. 40 over 30. 50 over 40. 60 > 50. 70 > 60. 80 > 70. 90 > 80. 100 > 90. 110 > 100. 120 > 110. 130 > 120. 140 > 130... by now, at 140K, the percent of Conservative voters tends to double... but the weird thing is, and I think this is a uniquly canadian thing, is people who make more then 150K a year vote 70% Liberal. dunno why, and neither do the pollsters, but it's constant.

I've seen studies that show that the people who start poor, work thier arse off, and become rich, are more economically conservative then anyone else. those who start life being well off (AKA these people's kids) are just as likely to be left-wing as the regular people.

There aren't too many poor to very rich people. However, if you look at people who went from not that rich to very rich, there are some definite counterexamples like Warren Buffett and Georeg Soros.

at McDonalds, I got paid minimum wage, and had to work as hard as possible, all day, and if I didnt I got yelled at. at my current job, yesterday, I got yelled at for having a durty uniform, and today, I got a $1/h raise without even meaning to ask for one. I'm a security guard, I sit in a chair and read a book all day. I get $9.50 an hour.

the people who made their money at jobs like McDonalds, where you are always on and barly get money, tend to be mroe right-wing, while those who make thier money at easier jobs, tend not to be. That's why alot of Lawyers are left-wing
