Hmmm...well, I don't think there's anything wrong with being wealthy--at all. A lot of things couldn't happen without wealthy people, and furthermore, being successful and affluent is not a bad thing. I'm in the arts, and trust me--without their contribution, I would be out of work.
Strangely, the Catholic Church named "being obscenely rich" one of the *NEW* Mortal Sins...lol...
I know the republican ideals are different than conservative ideals...in theory. I understand that from the perspective of having money, government programs might be less of a need because that sort of thing might not be in your immediate environment. What I DON'T understand is what seems to me the desperate need to stop things from changing. Sigh...I'm not being clear. OK, if I WERE wealthy, and decided I thought a republican government would be more suitable for me and the nation, regardless of social issues, I STILL could never stand behind these guys. I could never stand behind someone who wanted to overturn Roe vs. Wade, who was against same-sex unions, and had such complete disregard for humanity as to DEFY THE GENEVA CONVENTION and invade a country.
I know many of these things are Bush, and not republicans, and many republicans HATE Bush, but republicans also have stood behind him.
