Political power is stratified through income

Political power is stratified througheducation

Based on the chart above, it can be seen wealthier and more educated people are more likely to vote and to hold political positions.

A good illustration of this is the 2004 Presidential Election in the U.S. The candidates, John Kerry, and George W. Bush are both Yale University alumni. John Kerry is a lawyer and George W. Bush has an MBA from Harvard. Both are white, worth millions of dollars, and come from families that have been involved in politics.

Income remains one of the main indicators of class, as it commonly reflects educational attainment as well as occupation

Based on the graph above, it shows the top cabinet positions and corporate executives who are leaders in policy-discussion organizations are held by members of the upper class, good education and high income.

Income

In 2012, Obama won 60% of voters with income under $50,000, and 45% of those with incomes higher than that. Bush won 41% of the poorest 20% of voters in 2004, 55% of the richest twenty percent, and 53% of those in between. It can be concluded that low-income voters tend to vote Republic as they believe that “they can get ahead with hard work”.

Education

Those with graduate education, have become increasingly Democratic beginning in the 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008 elections.

Another survey by UCLA conducted in 2001/02, found 47.6% of scholars identifying as liberal, 34.3% as moderate, and 18% as conservative

Conclusion

Income indicates class reflects educational attainment + income (the higher

education, gets good job, the higher income)
