yea it does tend to break out that the dem rich are the uber wealthy - the gates, bezos, that weirdo pos buffet etc. the people who have mega wealth held in carried interest.
republicans have a few heavy hitters but their "rich" are largely made up of high income earners, ie the people who get a pineapple shoved up their hoop with taxes. when they say "tax the rich", what that really means is people who make in the 500k-low millions. now that's doing pretty well depending on where you are in there and where you live as well as who you're supporting on it, but it ain't generational wealth. and somehow the media allows that sack of sht buffet to be painted as this bleeding heart folksy grandpa and doesn't have a single follow up to his saying things like "my secretary pays higher taxes than i do". well warren, thats because you pay her 500k salary and yourself 100k, which allows you to hold onto that 100bb in carried interest while i'm getting cornholed for 50%. i don't begrudge him for taking advantage of the rules, i begrudge him for the phony act he puts on, and our media for being so stupid or such lapdogs they refuse to expose things like that. btw you know the railway threatening to strike, bnsf? thats one of st warren's. national grandpa warren who wants fairness and happiness and unicorns for all and it should be financed by the rich that aren't him, has employees so upset with comp they're threatening to strike. i've yet to see this factor pointed out as anywhere close to a focus of reporting on the issue though. nor do journalists ever feel the need to look into all of the tax problems with warrens affiliates under the berkshire umbrella. people like him are near the top of the list who need to be exposed. but no one influential enough will ever call him out for his two faced bs. all you have to do to pay more in taxes is pay yourself more warren, but i guess the genius you are never thought of that. then there's a whole lot of weird rumors about this dude, but the only thing i'm not uncertain about is there's more than a few skeletons in that closet if anyone took the time to look.
