Kudlow has always been a little too deferential to the establisment for my taste. And time and again he has lauded the insider for no good reason. Most memorable to me was the day in mid-2008 when he announced with satisfaction that "John McCain will be our next President."
The revulsion with Washington DC, and with elitists in general from either political party, is so deep and growing that one insider (Kudlow) patting another (Geitner) on the back only serves to deepen the resentment and fury against DC.
What the Tea Party wants to do (and what Kudlow fails to see despite his token acknowledgement of the TP agenda) is to take away altogether the centralized power of the Geitners and all the other academics and experts who have migrated to Washington DC over the past century and clearly screwed things up
Like Peggy Noonan, he does kiss the butt of whoever is in power, but Kudlow does favor Republicans.
Overall capital gains taxes are much lower these days, because so few people have them.
Id LOVE to hear Neal Boortz debate this .. So Called Expert!
This guy, Kudlow is an 'idiot'!
All he has done on his show today (07/24) is to praise Geitner and how "Everything" looks Great for future Economic growth!
(wonder if this 'Expert' would debate Boortz on the Fair-Tax?) Yea .. Right!!
