I'd be perfectly content if all the billionaires in the country voted republican and no one else did. The rank-and-file who elect republicans are generally not billionaires. There are actually not enough billionaires to make a statistical impact on voting, unless you count the impact of the money they donate to inflict lies and propaganda on the voting masses to scare them into voting against their self-interest. By the way, one of the largest reasons - perhaps the largest - they're going after unions in Wisconsin is that the unions are a major source of funding for democratic candidates. The budget cut thing is very likely a smokescreen for their real intentions. Republicans don't care about balancing the books - if they did, they wouldn't give out tax dodges to all their pals. They have a not-so-hidden agenda, and it scares me.
