My Name is Ed Gallagher. I'm an independent thinker tired of the continuous partisanship that is portrayed in the media and government. My goal with this blog is to inform my readers with unfiltered information for them to formulate their own opinions on the issues of our time. If you take the time to learn more about the issues and their effects on your everyday life you will then have the tools to make better informed decisions on who you want to be our leaders.

Money and its Effect on Party Affiliation
I just found a set of interesting graphs that show party affiliation and how it corresponds to income levels.
Do you feel that a persons income effects which party they belong to? Are you surprised by the breakdown?
I think the whole perception that Democrats do not support small business due to increased taxes and social welfare programs is a main part. There is this general view that Democrats just want to take and redistribute. But, without programs like these, people throughout the U.S. would go starving. The government needs to look after the people, not disregard those who are less fortunate. Sometimes, they cannot help the circumstances they are in.
