Haha, go for it.  Just to warn you though... you'll likely find 50+ conflicting studies before you find the right one.

It's a problem in general... partly because Democrats don't know which cart to back.

Afterall, if Democrats make more then republicans... then the republicans aren't the greedy rich guys are they?

In a way the democratic argument becomes "we need more government intervention because of greedy democrats."

Which becomes a problem, since the same people crafting said legislation are democrats... and rather rich ones at that.  Congressmen get a pretty nice deal.

In trying to be all things good to everybody, you usually end up with a lot of contradictions.

 

Heck, look at the Tea Party... despite in general how people try to paint them... they actually end up also in the "better educated" "make more money" camp according to most polls.

Well, I'm gonna try to find that study, though if you could provide a link that would be dandy.

The article you linked says that Tea Party supporters are better educated than the overall population of Americans (37% vs. 25% have vollege degrees), however it doesn't say they're better educated than Democrats or Republicans. They admire Sarah Palin the most, so all that education may have not payed off. Also, I somewhat doubt that they can be described as "libertarian". The majority of them describe themselves as conservatives (73%). They're also very religious by the look of it.
