I always thought perhaps it was because in general R's respect money so much that if the richest guy in the room says something everybody really listens. With Dems nobody feels that way so much and they might go for any idea that sounded good.

There was a fellow in RR's cabinet who left after a year or so and said (even though he was a millionaire in his own right) that nobody would listen to him because he was not rich enough.
