You already heard what I think about capital gains taxes. It should
reward long term (several years) investment and very short term

That already happens.

And big huge tax increases coming after 2012 already on the books. If
you have long term gains, you may want to realize them early just to
avoid the 20% tax rate hike coming.


more pipe dreams

tax increases? where?

oh. none.

we NEED more taxes, especially on the rich, but americans will never
let the rich be taxed.

Government is trying to end the depression with bu11sh1t. They generate
4.5% inflation, GDP grows by 2.25% and they say the depression has
ended. Only with fleabagger math, as inflation adjusted the economy
still shrank. And in shrink, it also generated less government revenue.
A real vicious economic cycle caused by government debtors denial and
mindless statism.


4.5% inflation?

where? ppi index went up 0.2% last month


Don't believe the government numbers. Find a government CPI and check
out cars, homes, gold, silver even flour say from 1914. You will find
CPI is bogus. Keeps unions happy to BS them down. Ponzi number, make
you think a 2.5% raise is good if they tell you inflation s 2%.

OK, radios are cheaper.

CPI is just BS.

and the teabaggers think we have to cut taxes on the rich because
their income only went up 500% in the last 30 years.

and federal taxes are at a 40 year low

but the right knows none of this


Tax reciepts are but not net tax load. Because over 20% are unemployed
and company are not making money like they used too. No profit, no/low
wages means less taxes.
