Whether democrats or republicans are in office, will it affect your income, and personal prosperity?

If you make a lot of money you can just invest in a charitable trust (in which you only need to commit 5%. The rest can be used for other investments.) and/or get 150,000 in tax breaks a year, for each off shore business you start. So tax rates are pretty irrelevant for the wealthy. So forget about the myth about the trickle down theory, and focus on yourself. Does the pendulum swinging of the two party system have any effect on you personally, with such things as your taxes, income, services provided for you, and your personal prosperity?
