AUTO SPECTATOR
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: Democrats demonize the "wealthy" in America as being conservative Republicans. But in reality, most of the wealthy in America must be liberal Democrats because for the fourth year in a row, wealth Americans ranked Porsche as the "most prestigious car available," then Lexus, and then Mercedes-Benz. If most of the wealthy in America were conservative Republicans, Cadillac would always be ranked first.
