You can look up political campaign donations (many different ways), but type in some zipcodes near you. On the right it should give you a total amount dontated to each political party for that particular zipcode.
Next, compare nice neighborhoods to rougher ones... upper class ones to lower class ones. Make a note of which party receives more political donations, republican vs democrat.
From trying this out myself, I've noticed that the nicer the neighborhood, the higher the donations to republican candidates. The worse the neighborhood, the higher the donations to democratic candidates.

That's not surprising. I bet the worse the neighborhood the less educated the residents.

That would explain the support of democrats.
And if we followed your logic, what have you just said about the entire state of Ohio???
I imagine no one would be having taxation level problems in any part of the spectrum, nor would anyone be needing a handout of any kind, if they simply had a living wage in their hands.
Yes, dream the impossible dream. We wouldn't need politicians of any cloth anymore. Business interests would need no defense, labor interests would need no defense, because everyone magically got fair/ respectful/ reasonable all by themselves!

I was joking.
And there is no such thing as a living wage. That is just some nonsense term.
Employers are not there to provide a "living" wage. They are responsible for paying for what the job is worth. Nothing more.
If someone doen't feel they can live on said wage it is THEIR responsibility to improve their situation so they can earn more money.
Employers are not charities.
Living wage is nonsense. It is a meaningless term.

I find this one more interesting
Deployed Troops Donating 6:1 to Obama | Vets for Obama (http://vetsforobama.org/2008/08/14/deployed-troops-donating-61-to-obama/ - broken link)
This is a shocking figure. While figures among military personnel overall are more evenly spread, donations from troops stationed overseas at the time of their donation have given $60,642 to Barack Obama’s campaign, compared to $10,665 for McCain.

134 people? Spare me, please. You are talking about a statistically insignificant number of political campaign donors. Not to mention, if you break it down to republican donations vs. democrat donations, more was given to republicans.

Even if you take into account ALL members of the military (not just deployed), you're still at a very small number.
