A billionaire could earn $1 million in interest and pay only 14% on that.

which is nothing to the tax rate you and I pay on our yearly incomes.
If you make $100,000 a year in California you and pay 14% on that it would be a pretty significant chunk of your income. `That 14k is a lot of money to most of us.

Pete,

I apologize for dumping moderation responsibilities for this poster in your lap. But just like constant exposure to good writing can improve one's own writing skills, constant exposure to the above is likely to cause brain damage.

Regards,

D-Ray

All just because we disagree with far different views. And you will then in turn blame Congress and the Senate for not working together.

A liberal website that caters to the advancement of propaganda.

Absolutely nothing to do with Political Chat.

They may not take on risky business adventures and new start ups. But they still build homes and shop for expensive things. There lifestyle doesn't change much through a recession. I did not feel the 80s recession either with my line of work. This one has been a little worse for me only because the long over extent of it and higher taxes. Both reasons because of Obama's approach to correct it.

So if your line of work caters to middle class and lower you are at risk during a recession. The longer it last the more it destroys.
WOOSH! Right over his head.
