Analyzing Politics-Republicans and Democrats

There are some things I don't understand when it comes to politics. I know the subject can be dangerous. For example, why do the middle and poor class vote "Republican" when they should really be voting "Democrat"? They are not rich, they are working class, and they don't make a lot of money. They don't have big houses and several cars. They are stuggling, living from paycheck to paycheck, and some are not enjoying the fruit of their labor. Now, the "rich" Republicans have a lot more education, money and power. The rich Republicans take advantage of the poor and middle class Republicans because some of them don't have a lot of education, and as I said before, they don't have a lot of money, and they don't have power, but what they do have are prejudices. Some middle class Republicans are also close-minded (they are not very open to the world). The rich Republicans are very well aware of these prejudices that the poor and middle class Republicans have and they use them to their advantage to get ahead. Republican candidates like Michelle Bachmann (who recently suspended her campaign), Herman Cain (who also suspended his campaign), Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, and Jon Huntsman are RICH AND MORE EDUCATED. They have absolutely nothing to worry about. Their lives are set and well off. They take advantage of the middle and poor class Republicans' prejudices. They don't care about the middle and poor class people, they only care about themselves. They never discuss important issues like education in the United States, and the environment in the United States, etc. They have been talking about immigration and government spending. The reason why they've been discussing government spending several times is because they don't want to pay taxes in order to help the middle and poor class people who are struggling to get by. The rich Republicans didn't grow up being middle or poor class citizens of the United States. They never had to struggle. They don't know what it feels like to struggle. They don't know what it feels like to be fired or laid off of a job. Those rich Republicans have been rich all their lives. So therefore they can't relate to the middle and poor class United States citizen of today. So I ask again, why on earth do some of the middle and poor class vote "Republican" when they really should be voting "Democrat"? I'm a Democrat because I'm a working class United States citizen, I don't make a lot of money, and I care about the middle and poor class of the United States. I haven't never been rich all my life. I know what it is like to be broke! And I do care about the immigrants who want to make it in America.
