An honest question- what do you mean by overseers? I have always felt that Democrats have taken that role for the black community. And what is an "appealing platform" that is any different for blacks than for the rest of the country? I don't know what tax cuts are planned for "the rich" right now but the Bush tax cuts helped my small business and were tax cuts for ALL earners. Sure, the rich got cuts but they also got increases in capital gains and dividends. The middle class saw more of their paychecks. That is why Dems allowed them to be extended. Of course, he also spent too much and added to the deficit but we can't just tax that away by punishing success rather than creating value, not just reallocating resources.
