Reply #4: Careful. This may not help the Dems.

People who have no one in their social circle who make less than six figures a year aren't exactly loved by the majority of the populace. When the rich join our side, it makes it hard for our side to propose policies that will actually help the average American: reforming regressive taxation ends up as a minor priority, behind things like legalizing gay marriage and banning smoking in your own home. Plus, it kind of gives the liberal elite/"limousine liberal" epithets some basis in reality ("Prius Progressives" I guess we should say now.)
