The Situation with Democrats

So the thing about democrats that I like would be their acknowledgment that governments are meant to help their people. For example, their statement on gay marriage reads:

"We support full inclusion of gay and lesbian families in the life of our nation and seek equal responsibilities, benefits, and protections for these families. In our country, marriage has been defined at the state level for 200 years, and we believe it should continue to be defined there."

showing that instead of creating a federal definition of marriage, they would rather states create their own laws as each region of our country has different opinions.
Similarly, I strongly agree with the Democratic views on abortion. These words were spoken on their 2004 platform:

"Because we believe in the privacy and equality of women, we stand proudly for a woman’s right to choose, consistent with Roe v. Wade, and regardless of her ability to pay. We stand firmly against Republican efforts to undermine that right. At the same time, we strongly support family planning and adoption incentives. Abortion should be safe, legal, and rare."

Democrats believe that it is a constitutional liberty for a woman to choose to do what she wants with her own body--a freedom which separates us from developing countries in which women are inferior.

Now despite my agreement with theirs on certain controversial issues, I do understand the frustration that the upper class feels when the democrats tell them to surrender hard-earned money (after all, who loves paying taxes?). Yet then again, how can a government run smoothly and efficiently without enough capitol? It is a sticky situation. However, I would not mind giving a portion of my income if I knew it was to go to universal health care for all of my fellow citizens.
