#1 Dems are so stupid about tax cuts..they envision and mentally masturbate to it supposedly hurting corporations and the evil white industrialists like the bald old dude from the Simpsons ("excellent smithers")..all of whom pass the overhead onto the consumer (econ 101) in actuality it does hurt small business owners and even more so those who are working hard to break into the higher tax brackets i.e. new money and young families...socialism doesn't work because ultimately socialism is not really evil it's just plain stupid.

#2 Or, to put it simply.... Don't confuse Barack and his buddies with the facts... They always clutter the mind....

#3 I'm reasonably close to retirement. Have a very large unrealized capital gain in my retirement account. Expiration of the capital gains tax treatment of those gains (15%) to regular income would be worth several years of retirement to me. If I think the Bush tax changes are going away, I need to retire before they do, or I am working the next few years for, effectively, free.

#4 "socialism doesn't work because ultimately socialism is not really evil it's just plain stupid"

Have to disagree, Broadhead - it's evil and stupid.
