[QUOTE="scratch, post: 81290, member: 1674"] Gosh TS, My previous post was made a little bit toungue-in-cheek. My main point was that everytime I see Senator Feinstein in the news, she is attacking everything that the current ruling party is doing. She comes across to me as a hypocrite since she says one thing but doesn't mind living off her husbands investments. I am a capitalist, I have no problem in investing your money and increasing it wisely. I used to vote Democrat a long time ago, they used to be for the working class at one time. This changed about twenty-five years ago when I took a look at all the taxes I paid over a monthlong period. By the time you take out deductions on your paycheck, sales tax, property tax, utility bills, etc., etc., I figured out I was loosing about fifty cents out of every dollar I made. Most people don't realize this, we are numb and void to how wasteful our tax money is spent. We used to have a lot of conservatives in the Democratic Party. Down here in the Southern United States, it used to be that everybody was a Democrat.
