It could mean any number of things. It could mean that Republicans and Independents are more ambitious than Democrats. It could mean that Republican owned businesses are more stable. It could mean that Republicans are better leaders, strategists, or planners.

I thought it was interesting that members of the party of socialism are not actually participating in capitalism to the level of everyone else. I would have expected it to be roughly the same distribution as the party percentages - but it isn't even close.

So, apparently, the party against capitalism - isn't really participating in it as much as the rest of us.

"You don't say?" Clown | BECAUSE ONLY THE REPUBLICAN RACE'S RULES ALLOW THEM TO? AND DEMOCRATS SIMPLY DON'T KNOW HOW? | image tagged in you don't say clown | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
Is this some DNA conferred ability? A rule book? A notarized signed declaration required for party membership?

I take it you haven't heard the old observation about how there are two classes of Republicans:
1. The aristocrat class.
2. The masses of peons that wish they were rich but never shall be.

Being of the same-ish mindset two things they have two things they wish for in common:
1. The desire for greater tax cuts
2. The desire for greater deregulation.

AND THE PARTY THAT STANDS FOR BOTH IS:

Oh, excuse me, I am rather ill at the moment, so discombobulated.

Because of a desire for less regulations and more taxes cuts, people owning business are more inclined to join the GOP.

Conversely, Democrat types might be more attracted to jobs in teaching, social services, arts and whatever other more 'altruistic' fields which might have less regs and costs to worry about potentially getting limited by.

the man in the picture of my first meme/comment is Jonathan haidt who has done amazing work on the psychology of liberals and conservatives.
if you are a fan of Jordan Peterson,then you are familiar to an extent of Haidt's work.
Haidt's book "the righteous mind" is required reading for anyone trying to understand the psychology behind the political thinking.

he has a few chapters devoted to business,and how the "liberal" mind and the "conservative" actually compliment each other quite well.

you should check it out.youtube has a book-span video with haidt talking about these things.worth a watch.

you might understand why I find your meme so interesting,and your response even more so.

Is it the TED talk he gave? The moral roots of liberals and conservatives - Jonathan Haidt?
2 ups, 4y
that was a really shortened version.the book-span vid is like an hour and a half.
but the book is the best resource,of course.
2 ups, 4y
I'll check that out

Not familiar with him either, but isn't this a basic, "What came first, the chicken or the fried egg?" question?
