Actually, the capital gains tax should be eliminated! This, coupled with a few other strategic free-market friendly actions would cause the Stock Market to soar immediately.

Capital flows to where it’s treated the best and the United States isn’t doing a very good job in this area.

You folks can rail all you want, and your hero can attempt to re-distribute the wealth created by others, but it won’t work. You simply can’t repeal ther laws of economics any more than the laws of physics!

Business owners are already running the rough estimate calculations based upon the liklihood of an Obama presidency. Do you folks know what the calculations are for?

BTW do you actually think that rich people put all of their money in a big jar and bury it in their backyard?

No, a lot of them send it to the Cayman Islands so they don’t have to pay taxes.

“The Borgen Project has some good info on the cost of addressing global poverty.

It is great that Obama is so in tuned in the poverty of this nation and world. The Borgen Project is as well. According to The Borgen Project:
$30 billion: Annual shortfall to end world hunger.
$540 billion: Annual U.S. Defense Budget. Go to borgenproject.org to find out more!

In comparison to the 700 billion financial bail out of institutions, only 30 billion dollars is needed for the annual shortfall to end world hunger.

Yglesias notes, “You can see why they’re [McCains] opposed to spreading the wealth around. But how many Americans really join McCain in the belief that we need to concentrate the wealth more narrowly in the hands of the wealthiest families?”

According to the latest Gallup poll, I’d say about 44% share that belief.

Maybe McCain needs the extra money; after all, having cancer can get expensive.

My friends, I’m getting mighty sick of McCain calling me a friend.

His campaign tactics look, smell & feel just like W’s in ‘00 & ‘04.

Meanwhile, KKKarl is still looking at his electoral vote map, trying to determine why States like North Dakota are now blue.

Johnny! KKKarl! They’re turning blue because of you! Keep up the despicable work you’re doing…soon we’ll have a super majority, thanks to your self serving, lying campaign.

I think what McCain meant was: The fundamentals of my wife’s beer distributorship are strong…

Notify Joe the Plummer and explain that one to him. As McCain gives speeches about Joe the Plummer poor Joe doesn’t even realized he’s going to get hosed by his best friend John McCain.
