Re: Obama threatened capital gains increase

The problem is how can you simplify a 100+ page tax amendment into a single sentence? Just flat out saying he's gonna increase capital gains tax therefore the economy will spiral into the pits of hell.

A tax plan amendment that restores a progressive tax rate to help fund a withdrawal from unnecessary foreign conflict which is a multi billion dollar a year moneysink, will help balance the budget and that will do more to restore the country's economic confidence than a plain old tax cut. You can't just tax cut your way out of trouble. Obama is inheriting a giant turd of an economy and is being realistic, we need to pay our way out and not tax cut our way out.
