I doubt anyone is really taking his idea seriously but I applaud the bravery to even open the dialog. We do need to find a way to get a handle on costs. Ryan isn't brave, he's stupid and isolated in his little ideological cocoon He wants to kill Medicare. His next step would be SS. He had no idea how his "plan" would **** the GOP. Don't mistake stupid sincerity for bravery. if he were brave he'd propose doubling capital gains taxes and subjecting them to social security taxes The only problem with that is it would crush the stock market and devalue everyone's 401 which, of course, is bull**** where's your evidence and no, it wouldnt crush 401K's because they are taxed as regular income, NOT as capital gains you dont know **** about **** do you?? |

The genie is out of the bottle over there, we have our fingerprints all over it and if it all implodes we bought it. It was more than 1/2 that as best I can see. We're not flying missions. The top 5 hits on google (news stories) peg it at $600-608B What are you looking at? You're claiming that it's currently costing us $600M? I'm assuming the last was a typo. You know it's not costing us that much, although it may have for one week. |

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? no. it's not. and there's NO proof that supply side horse**** leads anywhere except the horse stables. it's a pile of **** invented by those who want to continue to rape the middle class and then rely on the right wing to invent a fairy tale 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 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 so there's NO proof that right wing supply side bull**** works. none. 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. I didn't say anything about the tax rate on the 401k. Read before you insult. you need to write more clearly. cant help it that the right wing cant right. after all if you believe the laffer curve you'll believe anything |

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

The middle class has the lowest tax rate since the Hoover administration. I made $100k and paid about $11,000 in income tax Reply: Bob. I am not rich, but invest for capitol gains as opposed to day trading, etc. that would be the mode if you taxed capitol gains as ordinary income. Why would I invest in a startup? If I had to gamble money, I want a better return. If I have to set on the money for 5 years, why can I not take a loss at ordinary income during those years where I was upside down? If you had invested conservatively and across the board while the economy was good you would not be crying the blues. |

A lot of that cost is hidden in black CIA budgets but even the open parts are in the US bases where they are controlled. Uh huh... why not count the toll calls from the White House to the Admiral on scene in the Med? |
