Look at the source. It’s a group promoting the interests of capital. They think our capital gains tax rate should be cut, so Mitt Romney can pay an even lower share of his income to taxes than he does now. That’s what we need, billionaires paying 5% taxes while the middle class pays 30-50%.

Promoting these kinds of economic policies are probably the main reason why the GOP struggles to beat the likes of Obama.

Policy based upon jealousy of others, is certain to be bad policy.

I would rather not see FR used to promote class warfare. I would rather work to create jobs and the prosperity that flows from them.

Ignoring the supply curve of economics while pretending the demand curve reins without limits is rather foolish.

Promoting capitalist ideals is good. For the economy to thrive, business and profits must be allowed to grow.

Taxing capital gains is counter productive.
