Many millionaires (whether Democrat or Republican) are often consumed with guilt over their riches, and thus feel the need to fork over more and more riches as a means to assuage their subconscious guilt.

so it is with this California goof.

Specifically, he was offended by the California Republican Party's insistence during a recent state budget battle that there would be no tax increases for any reason, no matter what.

Why doesn't this guy move to NY. He'd love the new millionares tax not to mention all the hidden taxes about to hit.

And when Republicans return to power he’ll promptly switch back. Two faced idiot.

I suspect he smells something in the air; he wants to be on the side where the power is (or will be).

If you are reading this, Mr. A., I fully understand your leaving the Republican party, but I can’t understand why you would sign up with Democrats. I wish you would reconsider that. The Democratic Party platform is very wicked.

multimillionaire financier Howard Ahmanson, one of the biggest early funders of Proposition 8, has left the Republican Party and become a Democrat.

"has given up being a fake Conservitve and reverted to type... Liberal."

Why do MSM rags always act soooo astounded when a commie comes out of the closet?

Born rich or earned it?

Guilt-for-wealth seems to be the domain of a lot of trust-funders.

He’ll never be trusted by the ‘rats. But they’ll take his money.

Whatever.

Welfare a moral entitlement that can never be withdrawn? This guy is a real fruitcake no matter what flag he flies!

I would have two questions for him:

1) First, a general question: Liberals always carp about the rich not paying their “fair share”; So, what IS a “fair share” of total income that should be paid in taxes? Give me a number!

2) Next, a California Specific question: You complain that Republicans have drawn a line in the sand and said “no more taxes”. If the current level of taxation is not where Republicans should draw the line, exactly where should they draw the line — 100% of everything that the Federal Government doesn’t take?

If there is no place that a line should be drawn in California, then there is an underlying assumption that ANY level of taxation is morally acceptable ... even up to 100% ... and that is called slavery.

If you can’t give me a number, then trying to have it both ways - confiscate as much money as you can without admitting that you are advocating slavery.

He believed that the people who voted for all the taxes and called themselves Republicans WERE Republicans.

Howard, wake up. Those “Republicans” who betrayed the GOP WERE NOT REPUBLICANS, they were undercover Democrats. Now, you’re sleeping with the real enemy. Wake up!

This is an odd story. A Jindal-for-President fan joining the ‘Rat Party. It makes no sense to me.
