No problem with closing some loopholes or selling some things but if these asshats think they are going to raise taxes and not pay for that at the polls....they are dumber than I thought.

Hey you guys, this is serious business.If the debt limit is raised, it will be followed by printing of more worthless fiat money, ergo the inflation rate will go up irregardless of what the mullahs in Washington. They are not going to release the real inflation rate, but ask your wife about it. She sees it every week in the grocery store. Get ready for some bad times.

How do you feel about changing the law so that the hedge fund managers’ earnings are taxed like ordinary income, instead of as capital gains, so that they are taxed at a 15% rate instead of 35%? I was reading that one of them made $4.5 billion last year. I think he should pay taxes at the same rates I do.
