actually it was targeted at working people because the GOP realized
they

1. dont have the money for stockbrokers
2. dont have the discretionary income to invest

so this was a way to steal a BIT more money while convincing the
middle class they were getting a BIG tax break

if they REALLY wanted to give the middle class a tax break, they'd
reduce income taxes, NOT capital gains taxes

but the GOP has NEVER done this.



When did the Democrats lower the middle class income tax rate? They have
had control of Congress the majority of the last 50 years.

you're missing the point. we ALL have to pay taxes. the GOP just
thinks the rich shouldnt pay taxes and the burden should be borne by
the middle class

i have no problem paying my taxes. i DO have a problem paying MY
taxes AND subsidizing the lazy socialist welfare cheats of goldman
sachs, etc.
