  • The most common comment on this article is, "If it were Bush/Reagan/etc, the liberals wouldn't be saying anything." Probably true, but if it were Bush/Reagan/etc, I doubt the conservatives would be so quick to protect the "shooters." Glass houses, people.

  • Well that spineless guy is the one with the best chance to beat Obama.

  • Wow, these guys are entertaining. So Romney is a liberal now? I guess Newt pissed off a few moderates by calling Romney a "Massachusetts moderate" - as if being moderate is a bad thing.

  • Nice photo...what a bunch of douche bags.

  • See, I don't think that justifies it. Interest is taxed at the normal rate, so whatever the tax rate is, they're investing because they expect a greater return than the bank will give them. And they get a tax benefit to boot! Seems unfair to me, seeing as they would have invested anyway.

  • Interesting point, wildike. However, it sounds a lot like me taking $10,000 to the blackjack table looking for a win. Is that also good for the economy?

  • TexasFighterGal, if you own a small business, investors are awesome. And if you're making money for them, they think you're awesome. Especially since you're doing all the work, while giving away some of your decision-making ability.

  • Salgal, it's not as if raising the capital gains tax would cause "investment" (quotes intended) to stop. A capital gain is free money and free money taxed at 15% or some higher rate is still free money.

  • Oh my goodness. Just as I predicted, the McCarthy-istic names started flying. Your post is so fiery that I must have struck a nerve, but frankly, I'm not terribly concerned.
