When I was living in Australia before returning to America, I noticed this phenomenon of the loud socialist types being anything but poor. Even the academics were doing well, with plenty of perks from the public swill bin. Grants, you name it, their thirty plus pieces of silver, all for the price of betrayal. We have seen this too recently with scores of US academics, even math guys, working for communist China, and posing a national security threat. Here though is material on the Democrats, who are clearly the party of the rich, not the proletariat, despite their bs.
