Are the Democrats just as much a Rich Man's political party

Are the Democrats just as much a Rich Man's political party as the Republicans are ? Both are Puppets of Lobbyists and Bankers and of the Israeli Lobby ? Both are very pro War and want an American Empire ?

Democrats & Republicans vs The Green Party
Democrats talk about the different policies, positions, and priorities we'd see from Congress if they take control back from the Republicans.

But members of the Green Party say that most Democratic and Republican politicians hold similar positions on major issues — and that's why we need a new party that gives power to “We the People” instead of powerful corporations.

Which is true? Judge for yourself — and compare with Green positions:

If you're making a pitch for the Green Party, then good luck - there was never a more ineffectual group of do-nothings until the advent of the Tea Party.

Besides, 'round here, we call Democrats "Limousine Liberals" for the fact that they always seem to arrive in a chauffeured vehicle, a tailored suit, and with an entourage that would make P. Diddy jealous, only to try to explain how they identify with the "Common Man".

Sheesh!

my answer is yes.
maybe more so
The top 3 richest people in the us are democrats.
the next 6 are Republicans Kochs (of teaparty fame) and Waltons (walmart).
number 10 is mayor Bloomberg

Richard Nixon certainly thought so. America is a very large place though, it's political parties will naturally be large and diverse also. The Democrats have had FDR and Huey Long. FDR certainly was a politician who would meet that category but I don't think Long would. The democrats could be both at the same time. Just as the Republican party can have candidates like Bush and host Tea Party activists at the same time.

I don't know who is the 'rich man's party', what I do think is important is to recognize that we do ourselves a disservice when we simply reinforce our predispositions with confirmatory evidence. In politics it is usually a bad idea to let interested parties define the narrative of their opposition, it does not get you close to what they stand for.
