This stuff is just scary. Sometimes I wish I just stayed ignorant. It's like hauling off the trash. There's just going to be more tomorrow. You can't let it just pile up however.

Sounds like JP Morgan controls gas prices and owns our houses.

Apparently you don't have a clue why the economy did so well in the 90's. Let me fill you in. It was because of a lot of factors, none of them being a high Capital Gains tax rate. The technology (computer) boom was responsible for a massive increase in productivity. Regulation was low, thanks to President Reagan, fuel prices were low, and trade was booming, low priced products from china kept inflation low while the Fed pumped the economy full of money.

Bullshit. The tax was at that rate very recently and the economy was much stronger than it is now. Don't listen to the scare tactics of the trickle downers.

I hope you people understand what this video means. The loophole allows all those rich repulicans to keep smoking their cigars and making sure you can never afford to go to college. Smarten up folks. Vote Obama

A government is bad when it controls your earnings. The government was created by the people to do only those things that the people can not do for themselves, and I'm not talking about pathetic lazy people.Today the "People" were handed a huge historical victory by the Supreme Court, they have affirmed that the power does indeed reside in the people, and that the people do exercise the final say in this Republic. Thank God that President Bush appointed True Blue Americans to the Court.

I don't mind gov as long as it's not a tyranny. big gov in a democracy is ok as long as it protects people's interests because gov supposed to be "we the people" in a democracy. gov is bad when it's used by a few rich guys to create tyranny and empire for their own selfish purposes.

"the master" I mean that when the government grows at an annual rate of 8-9%, and the economy/country is growing at a rate of 4-5%, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that eventually they will control your money and there fore, your life. I believe we need to decriminalize drug use, not make it legal, but don't be putting users in jail. We could be spending that money on getting people off of drugs, and drug education. Now I'm starting to sound like a liberal.

A government that stops a few individuals from defrauding others is just doing its ordinary job of keeping freedom for everyone. What conservatives call deregulation since Reagan turned out to be the biggest transfer of wealth from the middle class to a few billionaires and foreign sheiks. I don't think in Denmark gov is "the master". I don't even understand what you mean. The USA locks up 1 in every 136 of its own citizens. In EU that's more like 1 in every 1000, in Japan 1 in evey 2000. |
