I didn't say "beholden," but the simple fact is that the Democrats are willing to let the Bush tax cuts expire for those making more than $250K, and the Republicans are not. That is pretty strong evidence.

If your answer is "ideology," fine -- we need not disagree. I'm not saying that the GOP is corrupt, in the sense that they are pushing for tax cuts for the rich that they don't believe in. They have managed to convince themselves that a platform that focuses on the interests of the most wealthy is principled. That's who they are.
