GOP needs a better answer for Warren Buffet Re: “Buffet and Bosanek need to disclose or shut up,” Beltway Confidential, Jan. 27
Instead of raising Warren Buffet’s taxes, why not lower his secretary’s?
Instead of killing innovation and the drive to be more successful, why not encourage those who are struggling by decreasing the amount of money they are shelling out to wasteful and corrupt governments?
The Republican Party needs to succinctly counter President Obama’s populist message by telling the American people: “Yes, it is good to be good at what you do, and you will be rewarded — not punished — for succeeding.”

Investigate judge who ignored living will
Re: “Judge ignores Md. woman’s final wishes,” Jan. 25
Kudos to Barbara Hollingsworth for a well-written and shocking expose of Prince George’s Circuit Court Judge Sherrie Krauser’s outrageous decision to ignore Mrs. Helen Carey’s wishes, place her in a nursing home against her living will provisions, prohibit her daughter from caring for her own mother, then charge the estate nearly $40,000.
This judge needs to be investigated, if not impeached, for her decision — which apparently led to Mrs. Carey’s death. Will there be further investigation and follow through? Many Examiner readers would like to know.

Catholics rethinking their support of Obama
In spite of warnings from Catholic prelates in 2008, including then-Denver Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, 54 percent of Catholics voted for Barack Obama. Now the president’s anti-Catholic policies have horrified even his erstwhile supporters.
The president’s decision to deny an exemption to Catholic institutions and force them to comply with an Obamacare mandate that forces employers to provide employees with birth control, sterilization and abortion coverage inveighs against the teachings of their church that all human life is sacred. That the plight of the unborn child has seemingly fallen on deaf ears at the White House is a matter of grave concern to Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
As New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan told the New York Times recently, “We’re unable to live with this.” Evangelical, Greek Orthodox and Orthodox Jewish clerics have joined the archbishop in conveying their opposition to the president’s nefarious schemes.
Catholics who embrace the teachings and traditions of the Church will likely think twice about re-electing a president whose policies are clearly antithetical to their moral convictions.
