KEN: IRS data now shows that last year Democrats represent 65% of taxpayers with a household income of half a million dollars or more. Okay. I think that\u2019s good. America\u2019s great. The opportunities are wonderful. Sixty-five percent of taxpayers with a household income of half a million dollars or more are Democrats. Meanwhile, the same data establishes that 74% of taxpayers in Republican districts have combined incomes less than $100,000.<\/p>\n

\"\"And last year, Republican districts had less income than their Democrat counterparts. Well, what happened to those snooty, rich Republicans? I don\u2019t think there\u2019s ever been…? I don\u2019t think that ever fell into the category that they needed it to. You look at people like John Kerry, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden. Look at Hunter. Wow. He\u2019s really made something of himself, hasn\u2019t he?<\/p>\n

I mean, really, when you think about it. The guy\u2019s loaded. All Democrats. So if you want to say that, “Oh, yeah, they can relate. They can relate to my dad and I working in the factory or on the job site or the construction site or swinging off the back of a garbage truck,” which is like the greatest ride ever. It\u2019s right up there with riding on back of a fire truck, and I\u2019ve done both. Very exciting.<\/p>\n

The neat thing about the garbage truck is, for some reason, the rules aren\u2019t as tough. Have you noticed that? Any guy will tell you in particular… I know there\u2019s women that are in both these worlds of work, but any guy will tell you, “That\u2019s coolest thing in the world, hanging off a truck by the seat of your pants, riding on something, riding in the back of a pickup, riding on the train, things of that nature.<\/p>\n

I just don\u2019t see any of those Democrats I just listed doing any of that. Do you? And, as usual, Rush knew this. Here he is.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: John Nolte: “[W]hen I say the ‘Republican Party,\u2019 I\u2019m not talking about Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. I\u2019m talking about us, we the people, those who call themselves Republicans, but only because that was the party Trump chose to run with. So ask yourself, are you a Republican because of Ted Cruz, of Rubio, of McConnell, Paul Ryan, or are you a Republican because of Trump? Because there are different kinds of Republicans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“In just five years…” This is profound, here, folks. I\u2019ve made this point myself countless times. “In just five years,” starting in 2015, “the Republican Party had become the party of the working class,” the party that [backed] private unions members… The party fighting for civil liberties and [fighting] against the suicide of free trade. We\u2019re the party standing side-by-side with legendary labor leader Cesar Chavez to stop illegal immigration.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re the ones opposing endless wars, the corporatizing of America, Big Mergers, Big Consolidation…” In other words, we used to be the party of Wall Street, the party of big banks, the party of Chamber of Commerce, the party of all that. We\u2019re not. Trump turned the Republican Party into the party of the people. Now the Democrats are the party of the rich. The Democrats are the party of the idle wealthy and of Wall Street.<\/p>\n

KEN: When you look at the latest story about John Kerry, all the money he\u2019s made off Big Oil. So I don\u2019t know what the combined income is. I\u2019m sure it\u2019s kind of billionairess, billionairy. John Kerry does remind me of a billionairess, but I know that\u2019s his wife, but I\u2019m just saying. So that\u2019s the other dirty little secret. So the news media, some of the most strident leftists and pro-communist and all those people that are all giddy over Cuba.<\/p>\n

“Oh, my God. Cuba\u2019s so awesome! If we could just be like the U.K. and Cuba, we\u2019d be so awesome.” Really? They\u2019re both going down the toilet. But those people are among the wealthiest. It\u2019s crazy. Some of the most news anchors with making 8, 10, $12 million a year, and they\u2019re covering for people that are worth half a billion. And a great example of this — and I don\u2019t have it in front of me \u2019cause he probably made some more money yesterday, Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what his net worth is. I know that if you took out a calculator and if I figured out what he\u2019s made in 50 years of working for the government — \u2019cause taxpayers have paid his salary for his entire career, pretty much, for the last 48 — it doesn\u2019t add up, and we know that he could be using Common Core math, so that\u2019s part of the problem.<\/p>\n

You may say, “Well, he\u2019s only made this, but Common Core math says he\u2019s worth $50 billion.” I don\u2019t know. But if you look at what those people are worth, you have to ask yourself objectively — and I only ask my liberal friends to do this because my liberal friends are always the people that say, “How about Donald Trump and his taxes? How about those taxes?”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What about \u2019em? Did he break the law? Did he embezzle money? What did we miss, other than the fact that you resent someone who\u2019s orange and very wealthy?” I always throw in the orange just to make them giggle, \u2019cause that\u2019s their mind-set. But you could say to a liberal, “Well, Joe Biden was worth this much here, and then after him and his son did these deals with China, why did his net worth go up?<\/p>\n

“What was that all about?” Well, that you\u2019re not allowed to talk about. So the Democrats, they didn\u2019t lose control of the narrative. I don\u2019t know if they ever had the rightful title to it. I think that was… It\u2019s just like unions. Remember the title that unions used to have? “Unions are looking out for the working guy. They\u2019re hard workers and they\u2019re gonna roll up this…”<\/p>\n

No. No.<\/p>\n

The men and women in unions are hardworking people, and many of them built this country.<\/p>\n

But, just like our government, the people in charge often are full of crap! And that\u2019s what we have with… Well, the teachers union is a great example. Holy moly. There\u2019s a lot of conservatives in the teachers union, and they\u2019re stuck. And they\u2019re stuck. But it all gets down to, “We\u2019re looking out for you. We\u2019re for the workingman. We\u2019re for the working woman,” and these people are making millions and millions of dollars, and they\u2019re wearing $3,000 suits. What are leftists missing?<\/p>\n
