<div>I think this needs a full citation for the book you used. --[[User:John|John]] 00:09, 5 March 2007 (EST)<br />

Yeah... I think we need citations on some of this. [[User:Barikada|Barikada]] 21:24, 25 January 2008 (EST)<br />

==Economics isn't materialism?==<br />
<br />
This article states that Democrats tend to be more materialistic than Republicans, however, it cites economics as an issue which Republicans traditionally focus on, and uses this as evidence that they are less (or not) materialistic. Well, my issue with this is that as far I can guage through my knowledge of the concept, economic is the truest form of materialism! It is essentially an axiomatic, consensus-based system of trading commodity for hypothetical value, is it not? Green paper or shiny metals in exchange for useful goods? Perhaps if this article could explain this ostensible contradiction away by explaining that Republicans are more likely to view it as a vital organizing device for society, or at least, that they are prone to downplaying this aspect of the hypocrisy. Just sayin'.<br />

We definitely need citations for this article, maybe quote some democrats and show their materialistic nature. Or evidence supporting the claims of a trend in democratic policies to only focus on superficial things like gender, race, and wealth.</div>Discipleof88
