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

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.

RUNNING FOR HOUSE OF DELEGATES
I will be filling Pre-candidacy papers for the House of Delegates. I would however like to announce that I will be running. Later I will post my position on issues & other info. At this time, however I would like to let you know why I am running.
For many years West Virginia has been near the bottom, if not the bottom of all positive financial &/or economic areas, while border states have flourished, even during tough times. Not coincidentally for many years West Virginia & district 41 have been ran by, basically, the same people. District 41 & WV needs fresh ideas. Although I am considered by many to be a Sr citizen(I'm 60), I feel because of my many associations through church, teaching & coaching I have those fresh ideas.
I will be listing more specifics, but basically, I would like to stimulate our economy by lowering taxes on citizens, as well as business, thereby giving all people more of their own money to spend & creating jobs. I also want to strengthen West Virginia's families.
