Fundrasing for Democratic Party Demogod's does not benefit the poor

"According to Obama, monetary donations should be funneled into Democratic Party bank accounts. It's a point Obama hammered home while visiting Los Angeles this week to do a fundraiser at the home of John Wells, the producer of 'ER,' 'Southland' and 'The West Wing.' At that $30,400 per couple dinner, Obama shamelessly told his patrons: 'I hope you understand why we're here tonight. It's not to take a picture with the president. We're here to make sure those who took the tough votes are rewarded.' Why not reward those Americans who are out of work and hurting, rather than the legislators who live on cushy salaries and have full medical and dental? Because those Americans are pawns, that's why. Democrats cite to the poor to tug at the heartstrings of the limousine liberal class, but Democrats rarely encourage those limousine liberals to give their money directly to those in need. When's the last time you heard an active liberal politician tell a rich potential donor to send cash to the Red Cross or the Salvation Army without a major natural disaster to spur that politician along? Has it ever happened? No, because that would show that the private sector charities can do a better job than the government. It would demonstrate that the poor could be given care by the private sector in an efficient way. In other words, it would put the lie to the Democratic notion that government is always the solution to social inequalities." --columnist Ben Shapiro
