41 of the top 50 richest districts in congress have Democrat members
18 of the 19 poorest states have legislatures where both chambers are Republican controlled
Seems like Democrats are the party for the rich people to me.
Seems to me like the Democrats are better economically for a district/state than Republicans.

Maybe you'd have a point if the politics made the area more affluent, but that's not the case. Once the place became affluent they started voting democrat is what the data shows.
You have to look at each district in that top 50 and you can see on wiki their past elections on who used to represent them. As the areas income went up they changed parties.:shrug: I didn't see that in either article you posted.

Yet they keep agitating for things that might benefit poor people, like increasing the minimum wage. Strange.

Um, that would mean they are the party OF rich people. (who push policy that helps everyone get health care, education, higher min wage, etc.)
Republicans are the party FOR rich people. - > First and only significant legislation passed? Tax cuts for THE WEALTHY.
Republican elites/corporations know how to sway those poor, rural areas with completely nonsense like "The wall! The caravan! Locker her up! The emails!! Obama wasn't born here!", and get their tax cuts.
Suckers.
How does immigration help poor people? How does the Democratic party show anything but malevolence toward poor whites? How does bailing out banks help poor people?
I didn't forget the bailouts. Did you? Hundreds of billions of dollars spent to help rich people while poor people lost their jobs. How nice.
Here's how it works: Republicans are the party of a handful of ultra wealthy people like Rupert Murdoch and the Koch brothers. They prey on and manipulate the latent prejudices, ignorance, and misunderstandings of a large segment of uneducated, and therefore not-very-wealthy poor-to-middle class folks to advance their personal agenda, often on their backs.
That's why it may seem like the dems are wealthier. It also explains this paradoxical-seeming behavior of so many poor and middle class GOP voters to vote against their own self interests so much.
(Much like Mach has explained in post #7)
Are you seriously arguing that there aren't ultra wealthy people supporting the Democratic party, like Tom Steyer and George Soros?
Without those bailouts those poor people would have been out of their jobs for much, much longer. Shortsightedness also seems to be a genetic trait among the Republican Party.
No. Just that they are not the ones exploiting the ignorant and bigoted to advance their own personal agendas on their backs. Not all wealthy people manipulate and exploit. Just the Republican ones.
Implying that we couldn't have instead given that money to poor working families instead of bailing out the already wealthy.
Lol, you're living outside of reality if you think rich liberals actually love you.

Damn, you beat me to it.
Obviously the Democrats are better for their constituents than Republicans.
Somehow I don't think the OP thought this through.
