WHY THE CLASS WARFARE

I have trouble understanding why so many people want to tax "the Rich". Rich people can only do 2 things with their money, spend it or save it. If they spend it that creates more jobs. If they save it, unless they put it in a matress or can, that creates more jobs, because it either gives banks more money to loan to businesses, which enables them to expand. If they save it by investing that also helps business expand. Now they can also give it away, which would go under spending.
So why do so many people want to tax the rich. The more money the government takes from them in taxes, is less that they can, spend or save.
Another thing that bothers me is people complain about Bush's tax cuts only helping the "Rich". Well if you make more money its natural that your going to get more in a tax cut. And if you don't pay taxes your not going to get a tax cut.
If someone can explain that please let me know

THIS AINT YOUR PARENTS DEMOCRAT PARTY

A few months ago I posted about how this isn't your parents Democrat Party. Well since last nights results in Massachusettes I feel the need to update that post.
The Dems need to open their eyes. If a Republican can win in Massachusettes, that is so blue that it makes California look like a Republican heaven, it shows how out of touch this administration is. While they did elect Romney for Governor a few years & have a few Republicans in their Congress they have not went for a Republican since Reagan.
I feel this shows how out of touch with the average voter the Dems leadership is. While I was no fan of Clintons & I felt he governed by polls to much, he was smart enough to see when to give up or change his view, when the people were overwhelmingly against him.
Now look at us in West Virginia, during the last election Hilary carried West Virginia, but guess who are Dem leaders endorsed, some even before the primary, they endorsed Obama. Hilary carried the state by a landslide. Then during the general they again supported Obama & West Virginia went for McCain.
Even our local Dem leaders have bought into the Obama hype. A few months ago there was a protest in front of Mollohan's office, in Clarksburg against OBAMACARE, there was also a rally in support of it in front of the Dem HQ, where were Harrison County's congressional delegation not in front of Mollohans office protesting, most if not all were at the Dem HQ.
As I said earlier if you support abotion, continued tax increases, business leaving WV, the President holding secret meetings, legally bribing Congressional leaders, raming legislation thru when the large majority of Americans oppose it, the federal government taking over 1/7 of the economy, continued attacks on coal,then continue to support the Dems. But if you are for openeness, lower taxes, right to life, free enterprise & personal responsibilibty then come over to the party that is truly for the people ---the Republicans.
GOD BLESS

NON-PARTISAN ELECTION OF JUDGES

This is an item I feel is important, but does not receive a lot of publicity. Currently we elect our Judges by a partisan election like every other office. There have been several studies that show that we should change the method. Currently our legislsature is trying to improve the system, by public funding of judicial elections &/or limits on spending. This will only help incumbents & the rich, because we cannot put a limit on how much a candidate spends of their own money. So that method would be no good.
By non-partisan elections it would be soley based on their record or at least what the voters perceive as their record. It would also break up some straight ticket voting.
I believe it is something we need to pursue.
