By all means. Don't tax wealth, only tax income. Way to look out for the working man/woman.

'Our' capital gains taxes? Speak for yourself. In order to have capital gains taxes, I would first have to have capital gains. In order to have capital gains, I would first have to have capital. Impoverished recent graduates like myself are not so lucky as to have capital gains to be taxed. I am more concerned about health care than capital gains taxes, but I am happy for you that you are living high enough on the hog that McCain might seem the better choice.

a truly elite tax!

Oh, that is rich. I hope that this becomes the rallying cry for the Clinton dead-enders. HE'S JUST ANOTHER TAX AND SPEND LIBERAL!

RaeK just want you to know I'm watching you.

RaeK is clearly one of them elitists who actually has meaningful capital gains.

And, BTW, he's said 28% is the upper end but he's thinking more about 20%.

I urge that everyone here please listen to the BLOOD SUCKING VAMPIRE.

ZOMG!

O Noes!

RaeK, the day I believe you have any capital gains to tax is the day I am crowned Marie, the Queen of Romania.

What the hell do you know about capital gains? LOL!!!

I hope he does reinstate that tax - and it actually does effect us.

Hillary Clinton wants to RESTORE the capital gains tax also.

She also wants to RESTORE the income tax on Americans making more than 250k a year to 38%.

These taxes should have never been temporarily reduced as we were embarking on TWO WARS in the first place! The reductions should be allowed to expire AS SCHEDULED so that we can start to recover our economy!

OK--you're officially a Republican now. You've joined the Dark Side. You screwed up. You're going to need to be deprogrammed by a professional. You've lost your mind.

I didn't have any capital gains in the last three years, so I guess I don't worry about it; but those hedgefund managers do...

Capital gains taxes. wow. You certainly have your finger on the pulse of the readership here.

Speaking as an Obama supporter in the top 10% income bracket, its about damn time that our government stops expecting no one to sacrifice for our country. The deficit is exploding, almost every dollar spent on the Iraq was is off the federal budget adding to that deficit, and the Repubs answer is to cut taxes for the rich? And pay for that by slashing government spending where it hurts middle class and lower income families more than any other? I have no problem with Obama’s plans. I’ll pay my share.

Obama will be RAISING EVERYTHING!!

As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know.

You don't know anything.

Michigan and Florida were disenfranchised by their local party leaders when they moved up their primaries--a fact Clinton recognized and agreed with until she didn't have the nomination wrapped up after Super Tuesday and decided she needed those votes.

But don't let the facts get in your way or anything.

That's it, Rush. Keep repeating it, so that will make it true. No need to consider the rights of the thousands of MI/FL voters who stayed home because they tried to play by the DNC rules.

BTW, the Republicans punished their early states by taking away half their delegates. Does that mean they disenfranchised voters too, and that GOP voters will punish McCain for it? Gee, this game IS fun to play...

Oilbama! Lovin' it!

How could he "steal the election" by 'not counting Florida and Michigan"? He is ahead even *WITH* Florida and Michigan. The delegates that will be assigned for Florida and Michigan (and there will be a resolution) will be divided up honestly and *FAIRLY*.

You know, you people need to learn how to do MATH, not just repeat and repeat, endlessly, the talking points you hear on the candidate's sound bite on teevee.

As a MI voter I have a VERY clear understanding of how I was disenfranchised.

The blamse lies squarely with Mark Brewer (head of the MI dem party), Senator Carl Levin, Debbie Dingell (DNC member and wife of Rep. John Dingell) and Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick (MI Rep and mother to Kwame).

So please do not tell me who to hold responsible when you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

DISENFRENCHFRY!!!!!

Yawn! Where's my coffee.....

Where are all of the supers you said WV would convince?

Technically, being a bunch of babies is just a reason, not a "good reason."

Obama is crushing McCain in national polls, so I'd say he's getting plenty of Clinton voters.

So Hillary's supporters are down to only the hundreds of thousands now? Eek.

Um - so you're it? You're all the supporters she has?

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because you are actually McCain supporters after all?

Thanks for doing your part....

There you go, Otto. Cautiously optimistic.

Baby steps.

Maybe the superdelegates are too smart to fall for the sort of lame-ass arguments you and your fellow trolls try to push?

Showing the same fighting spirit as Clinton.

Yes he did - wimpy son of a bitch, isn't he? ;)

Looks like a software glitch here. I think the quotes are preventing the replies to the "presenter". Will you look into that please since he is getting a free-pass with all his stupid posts ?

One our lost big economic engines is taxing the wealthy. Every period where we have taxed the top 5% over 50% has been very good to us.

Very good point frogleg. Of course, with all of the supers coming out for O right now, one more isn't a huge deal but it IS Edwards. That in itself makes it big.

BTW, fogu2 and RaeK, suck my cheney!

....or it get's the hose!
