38. This is where I part with other democrats.
I support the democratic party when it comes to environmental regulation, gay marriage, equal pay for women, AA, even the idea wealthy should pay more taxes. However, when I see people here just arbitrarily suggest that "rich" people should pay more just because......then I get steamed. It seems in the short time I have been here I find many people who just flat out hate anyone who has more than they do? That's not the democratic party. That's not the party that my parents voted for or taught me to respect.

Penalizing wealth is a damn bad idea......the road leads to places none of us want to go. Just my humble opinion. The democrat party is full of wealthy people. Are we willing to just thumb our nose at them and say.......see ya? I hope not.
