    What a shame capital gains hasn’t really meant an increase in capital INVESTMENT in REAL jobs here in the good ol’ low tax USA! General Bullmoose has become General Bullcrap.

    Heard an interesting commentary from David Frum the other day about the Solera thing. For a Bush speech writer, he’s remarkably open to govt policy on business – only he thinks direct investment is a bad idea.He was saying govts should set pollution standards, put taxes on oil, etc to create market conditions that nudge business to find solutions.I’m finding his op-eds more thoughtful than the speeches he wrote.

    How much more waste do you want? Why is it the left thinks the republicans have all the big money making companies. Just blind i guess.

    That seems like a typical leftist reaction, and it’s pretty ignorant. What does more government revenue have to do with expanding the economy? Explain that for us.

    40 million new jobs were added to the national economy during the Clinton “tax-raises” and “estate-tax” in place of 1992-2001. President George W. Bush urged Congress to pass "TEMPORARY tax-cuts "for those tax-payers making more than $250,000 per-year and TEMPORARILY eliminate ‘estate-tax " from 2001-2011. What followed was 2 foreign wars and the loss of tax-revenues from those “tax-cuts”, resulting in a doubling of national debt plus un-balanced budgets and deficits-in-tow and "THE LOST DECADE OF NO EMPLOYMENT GROWTH ", no increase in employment and the collapse of a U.S. and world-wide economy into the “Great Recession”. Karl Rove declared, " President Reagan taught us that ’ Deficits don’t matter.’ " Now, the G.O.P. has done an about-face on deficits and deficit-spending, declaring, “Deficits Do Matter !” and, instead of addressing a national 9% rate of jobless-recovery, they are pushing President Obama around on deficit-recovery. Republican Presidential candidates are clamoring for doing away with Social Security as an un-paid-for “Ponzi-scheme”. It is high time Congress got together with President Obama to get the nation back to work instead of obstructing him or for the voters to hire a new majority in Congress and the House where all money-bills originate to put the nation back to work and get rid of those Tea-Party congressional members and Presidential candidates that are obstructive and disruptive to progress toward national recovery.
