Default Question for the economic aces

Eisboch...it's not relief on capital gains, it's tax relief on the
investments made in small business. Maybe Obama didn't explain it properly
in the tv appearance you saw. He has explained it in detail several times.



You're right. I misunderstood it, as I am sure did many others because he
didn't explain it.

But here's the irony.

Financial investors in a small business are likely to be well off
individuals, venture capitalists or larger companies looking for investment
opportunities that also have significant tax advantages. Obama is
proposing just that, in apparent contradiction to his "tax the rich" and
"share the wealth" rhetoric.

It would be much, much better to minimize regular income taxes on business
if you want to stimulate the economy. Not all small businesses are
desirable investment candidates. Mine wasn't. No one could understand
what we built and when I tried to explain their eyes just glazed over.
