The American Problem: Money Is More Important Than Ethics
My source is about Black conservatives that disagree with the Democrat party agenda and still vote Democrat because what they believe the Democrat party has done for them. The fact do not bare out what they believe since it was Democrats that opposed the Civil Rights marches of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. seems to have been non partisan but his father was a lifelong Republican that began to side with the Democrats after one faction of that party responded to his son being locked up in Birmingham jail. It was the Democrats and not the Republicans that opposed even to the point of filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1964 though a number of Republican Senators including libertarian Senator Barry Goldwater who would later loose a run for President. Mr. Goldwater’s comment was that “you can’t legislate morality”.
Arthur Hammons summed up the real reason for the voting and it covers Whites as well as Blacks when he said "Our community votes for the Democrats because they are seen as the party for the middle class and poor people. We see the Republicans as the party of the rich,"
The Republican Party has managed to shake that image to some degree but when look at the tax breaks they give it tends to favor those with money. The Democrats are more slick but the also favor a different faction of the rich in the medical and education fields. They also favor union who’s higher-ups are far from poor. The apparent advantage is that the poor and middle class seem to reap benefits from the Democrat positions.
Personally I believe we need a new party who will embrace some of the economic policies of the Democrat party and the ethical policies of the Republican conservatives,. I am not sure if such a party would be feasible in our system because money seems to be needed and what moneyed special interests would they appeal to even if they appeal to the majority of the People of the United States.

Go back farther Kerwyn. Abraham Lincoln, who crushed slavery in America, was a Republican.
