....I am not the least bit thrilled in any of our candidate choices for President. I was a strong supporter of Herman Cain, but we all know the end to that story.
However, I will vote for whomever runs against Obama for one single, solitary reason, which is the capital gains tax. If Obama is re-elected and the capital gains tax is raised from 15% to the top percentage bracket, it will simply crush our economy further.
Capital gains from stock dividends are the only income I have had for the past 4 years while trying to turn my construction company around. If the capital gains tax is raised, not only it will make it very diificult to support my family, but using those gains to keep my business open and keep people working will be impossible.
Many of you probably don't understand it, but an increase to the capital gains tax will deter investment in business, and will be a major setback to business owners everywhere who are the backbone of the economy. It will cost so many jobs it will most likely lead to a severe recession. Even if you are an Obama supporter, I urge you to study up on the capital gains tax, and at least voice your opposition to raising the capital gains tax to your Democratic Senators and Representatives. That's all I am asking.

It's hard to take anyone seriously who "was a strong supporter for Herman Cain."
I don't think that even Herman Cain was serious about Herman Cain for President.
999? Bills only three pages long? Virtually no campaign staff? These are not the thoughts and actions of a serious candidate.
He was on a book tour, and still is. He was not really serious about becoming President, and I seriously question anyone's judgement who was serious about supporting Herman Cain for President.

His plan is to raise it up to 20% which would hurt you and be of no help to the economy. I would safely call it a redistribution of wealth which Obama supports, he would take money from one sector and invest it in another. Most likely in green energy and of course with a further slowing of the economy social programs.
I wonder if his economic advisers have thought if they try this that people would draw down their investments before it took effect. Lets see,should I cash out my investments now and take a 15% hit or wait next month and take 20%. Hmm, I wonder what that will do to the stock market?

boom goes the dynamite!
It's amazing to me how anyone could take a candidate seriously whose economic policy was based on a video game ...

Why would you say that? He may not have had a storng organization, but look where he started? He was serious, and yes, he wanted to sell his book, is there anything wrong with either of these things?
Some women, mose probably set ups, decided to make sure he didn't go any further, so they jumped in, maybe legit, maybe not, we sill never know. End of story.
BTW, I was not a supporter of his, I still think you are off base. He did have ideas, give him credit for that and he was the first candidate to come forward with them...
Why do I get the idea you wouldn't support any Republican?
Obama's plans are to slash taxes significantly for small business, the right, to raise them.
If you are able to live solely off of stock dividends, you're not exactly hurting
If you were paying any attention at all you would know that Obama's budget called for the largest tax increase in history. If his lackeys somehow got control of congress those increases would all pass. Thank God the GOP has the house.

This tirade in support of the most flawed character the GOP presented in the current field of candidates lends credence to the moniker flying over the GOP "way out in left field".
