Best interest here means best economic interests. About 25% of Republicans earn less than $30K/yr, another 25% earn less than $50K, another 25% earn less than $100K/yr, and another 23% of Republicans earn less than $300K/yr. This means 98% of Republicans have absolutely no idea what they're doing and are voting themselves into economic stagnation. The 2% of Republicans earning more than $300K/yr are quite shrewd, but at moral cost. The Republican Party is made up nearly entirely of the bamboozled, yet while they will never see economic opportunity while Republicans hold power, they are paying for the 2% to make inroads on the 0.01%.

- Red_Leaves_Flyy 4y agoAwesome, thanks. Note of warning for lurkers, the page is broken on my mobile.
- patrick451 4y agoWithout a baseline, your numbers are both meaningless and uninteresting.
- Maursault 4y agoLovely straw man. Out of curiously, just what exactly are you talking about? Why do you think a baseline is needed? Because I have no earthly idea what you mean by "baseline" in the context of what percentages of Republicans earn.
