Why Democrats Will Target the Investor Class in 2009 - Capital Commerce (usnews.com)
We pretty much know what creates Republicans--belief in God, Family, personal responsibility, hard work, thrift, etc
So what will Democrats likely do once they get in? Well, naturally:
I'd say there are 3 things that give you an 80%+ odds of being Republican:
The linked article covers what Democrats are likely to do to try to destroy #3. Essentially, increase taxes on investing at the front end and at the back end and provide incentives to take government alternatives that create more dependency on the government. They will go further by putting "government money" into business to crowd out private capital ... socialism/fascism that politicises business so business becomes just one more part of an oppressive and inefficient state.
Why does #3 tend to make you a Republican? He touches on this in the article. If you actually believe in the ideal of America, you believe in WE THE PEOPLE ... NOT, "We the Government". Free people freely interacting in a free market has created the greatest standard of living for the greatest number of people in world history. If you believe in that, then you invest in it and discover the truths of the real world of which markets are just a part.

So what will Democrats likely do once they get in? Well, naturally:
- replace religion with "unity and support for BO"
- replace family with "domestic partners", mandatory head start, "youth programs"
- replace responsibility with government "rights" of all sorts so there is no sense of responsibility to work
- replace hard work with union seniority, government restrictions / incentives / disincentives for job actions
- and thrift ... well, that is the subject of the linked column, the coming attack on the investor class.
I'd say there are 3 things that give you an 80%+ odds of being Republican:
- Practicing Christian (you go to church, do your best to follow Christ)
- Married with kids--especially one marriage.
- You have consistently invested something from say 5-10% of your income in the stock market

- It is HARD (in fact impossible) to predict what will go up and when and when it all will go up
- Nobody is "in control" ... not the rich, not labor, not the government, NOBODY. The force of human ingenuity is greater than the comprehension of any person or persons if it is allowed to operate relatively freely.
- Markets ... and luck, weather, business, prices, opinion, sports teams, etc WILL "fluctuate" ... the only way to rid yourself of the fluctuation is "least common denominator, little or no growth or opportunity"
