"The Democratic Party (not just Obama) has huge fund-raising advantages among people who work in electronics, communications, law and the catchall category of finance, insurance and real estate.
Amazingly, Democrats have cultivated this donor base while trending populist on trade by forsaking much of the Clinton Third Way approach and by vowing to raise taxes on capital gains and the wealthy.
If Obama’s tax plans go through, those affluent donors could wind up giving over 50 percent of their income to the federal government. They’ve managed to clear these policy hurdles partly by looking out for tort lawyers and other special groups."
