If people start using other ways to invest the stock market will
suffer and that makes the 401k suffer.

proof?

well. none. capital gains taxes are as low as they've ever been in US
history

how's the US economy doing? we at full employment? how's the deficit?
is it low?

The stock market is doing great. that is good for your 401k isn't it?
That is all I said.

let's see

we're 10 trillion poorer than we were 3 years ago

we have to cut defense

we have to cut medicare

we have to cut social security

we have to raise taxes

we have a record deficit

do you READ the freakin' NEWS right winger??

the fact is, capital gains should be taxed as regular income. there's
no reason the rich should get a free ride. i'm not a socialist and
dont believe in socialism for the rich like the right wing does

I am far from rich as are most seniors and they enjoy the lower rates
on their investments.
They are also the ones who VOTE

as paul krugman said in a recent article about the right wing seniors
who voted GOP and will now be gutted like fish:

SUCKERS!!

If you look, the big boom in the stock market started with the Clinton
cut on capital gains. 1996, effective in 1997.

gee. and capital gains were cut under bush

which led to the greatest depression in US history since 29

Again the stock market came out long before the general economy did.
BTW do you think we should tax the gain on your house as ordinary
income too?

i'm midde class. the middle class cant afford a tax increase AND my
house, like most, is under water

tax the rich. THEY ****ed this economy. do you follow the news??

They use the tax code to modify behavior. When you raise the tax on
something, people do less of it. They drop the tax when they want you
to do more of it.

gee. so we have socialism for the rich and the middle class pays for
it

you want a good economy? high demand?

cut taxes on the middle class. but the right wing OPPOSES that.

The middle class has the lowest tax rate since the Hoover
administration.
I made $100k and paid about $11,000 in income tax

and the rich have the lowest tax rates since

1931.

AND they ****ed the economy. but you say 'let 'em do it again

you're a socialist for the rich

we simply cant afford your socialism any more
