I DO have a stake! You clowns send you diminishing wages out of the
U.S!


I take it back. You're just illiterate.


You need a dictionary - perhaps a large print dictionary with lots of
pictures. Maybe "the government" will send you one "free."


You need a chill pill and a brain. I don't think you can get either for
free.

stupidity of the voting and purchasing public.


i agree. conservatives outnumber liberals by 2:1

you have point

well, no. they can make investments and get a positive ROI.

invested money is fungible. money doesn't know if it came from the
govt or private enterprise


The government NEVER invests


WRONG. who developed the internet? the PC? who developed UC berkeley,
one of the finest schools in the world?

you're simply a sheep in a right wing herd

(clinton used that term intentionally out of
context and the ass holes agreed). ****ing money down the drain for studies
of how to wash your dick in Obama's homeland is not investment. Neither is
paying the grossly inflated bills of irresponsible sub governments. If "the
government" sent you money to pay for your pay television bill, it's not an
investment, it's a waste. About 60% of what government is ****ing away is
potential investment. It's your money, so who cares what they do???


gee. and wall street just sucked 11 TRILLION out of the economy in 3
years.

so tell me how efficient THAT was

perspective, you should invest, don't work, and pay 15%! Doesn't make
sense, does it? Nope - it's YOUR premise......


and why should investment tax dollars be taxed at a lower rate than
earned income? there's no reason for this policy, especially since
it's obviously ineffective, as we can see today.

and, no, investment does not come from 'after tax' dollars. capital
gains taxes are, by definition, paid AFTER investments are made and
profits are recouped.


Stupid is as stupid does

Investment comes from retained income, from which taxes were paid - you
don't get an income that you can invest and not pay taxes except narrowly
defined "retirement accounts" - if you withdraw from those (such as 401k's
and IRA's) you take it in the ass for taxes, PLUS penalties.

Investment income is taxed at a lower rate to encourage investment,


which it does not do. we have lowered the tax rates on investment
income to 15%

how's that working out for us right now?

oh. we're ****ed. so your argument is ****.

which
used to result in brick-and-mortar companies to produce products where the
masses could be managers, engineers, technicians and factory rats. If it
weren't for capital investment, you'd be growing roots in your collective
garden to survive. Investment is now punished (unless you are merely
shuffling money on bogus pieces of paper and a buddy of "the
administration"), therefore you have a diminishing income. It is actually
that simple.


and why should INVESTMENT income be treated differently than EARNED
income?

it shouldn't. it leads to increasing wealth concentrated in fewer and
few hands...which is what's happening to america today

so your argument is COMPLETELY wrong

Only for 3 more months - then you're "retirement" is screwed even deeper.

The lowest tax rate now is 10% - it will rise 50% on January 1, 2011. That
makes them equivalent.(50% tax rate increased on the lowest wage losers???)
Higher tax rates go as high as 40%, at a moderate incom,e. That's lower.
Arithmetic impaired??

Read previous post, look up the big words. Have you invested in anything
other than foreign trinkets and lottery tickets? )Thise weren't
investments, for the thinking impaired.)


it shouldn't. it leads to increasing wealth concentrated in fewer and
few hands...which is what's happening to america today


Seemingly increased wealth in "the few" (MORE millionaires and billionaires
than EVER in North America, including a ******** like Mexico)) looks
causative because the middle class is devastated and continuing to shrink -
explained why 40 times here - the gap is wider, and widening - what are you
going to do to change that? Elect a different set of political parasites???
That's right, bitch, send money overseas - it worked until now, right?


so your argument is COMPLETELY wrong


Don't beat yourself up for not understanding grade school economics.

Watching the idiot box and joining up with the "conservative" "liberal"
distraction is dysfunctional. Ever seen a newspaper other than the rag
published where you live? D v R is equally asinine. You're stuck in cartoon
land.

lot of them are represented by a union! Sorry!
