Of course there other taxes available to pay: fuel taxes, tobacco taxes, social security taxes, capital gains taxes, dividend taxes. At least up to the GW/ Kennedy tax breaks of 2003, most people had a net contribution? No recession since the subprime | Read More »
Why would anyone want to return the country Bush’s Economic policies when “Bush’s Economic Policies” “failed policies of the past,” are the bone in the throat of the GOP because they can’t articulate a response? In “How to Make Money in Stocks,” by William O’Neil, points out that the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 that was beefed up in 1995 effectively led to forcing banks to | Read More »

She has already paid | Read More »

Why haven’t more corporations done the same? Why has the stock market flourished since then? Especially since late August? Since the Supreme Court ruled that Corporations may also be involved in political speech, what would be | Read More »
She couldn’t bring herself to say she supported the natural rights of man as declared in the Declaration of Independence such as the right to Life. So if Obamacare takes effect, Death Panels will be supported cause she will support the laws of the land and couldn’t bring herself to say anything in support of the founding guidance given in the Declaration of Independence. Isn’t | Read More »

Have you noticed that US equitie indexes went up with the decline with the USD and went down with signs of strength for most of the last few years? Will that trend reverse? Will the signs of higher yields in the bond market, aka selling of treasuries or overwhelming supply, without a strong demand bring the USD strength? My favorite free author of late on the equity market | Read More »
The 2003 tax cuts created jobs, 8 million worth and don’t get me started on how many were saved.-they have been wiped out in the last six months. Since the minimum wage hikes started in 2007, unemployment rates have gone from 4.6% to 9.5%. Its a leading cause of teen unemployment as well. As Obama poll numbers go down the stock market goes up.
