LOL....yeah, the Republicans are going to politically support something nobody wants.

Where do they find such genius?

Oh wait, the Affirmation Action Appointment Center.. . .where merit and competence is irrelevant

“The Republicans in the Senate blocked a vote so we can tax the higher income people, who really don’t even want a tax break,” Solis said, speaking at the annual Campus Progress conference.

Solis was referring to a piece of legislation Democrats have repeatedly brought up in the Senate this year that would ensure that income earned through capital gains would be taxed at least 30 percent. So far Democrats, who control the upper chamber, have been unable to garner the 60 votes necessary to move the legislation through the Senate.

Did either Hilda Solis (who is on nobody's short list for Towering Intellect of the Year) or any of her other Socialist Democrat brethren ever stop to think what might happen to our ability to attract foreign capital when this proposed measure renders us non-competitive relative to other nations, which still have favored treatment for capital gains?

No? Not one single thought? Not by any of them?

Color me surprised. ;-)
