Fantasy: Obama raises taxes only on all the millionaire Hollywood actors and athletes. In large measure, they supported him. Therefore, it's only fitting they part with more of their money. I think an 85% confiscation threshold would suffice.

No it's not.

The best way out of debt is real growth through productive investment.

But real growth for the domestic US economy is not on the agenda.

Mark my words.

Socialism with broken teeth and lice in your hair, that's on the agenda.

Good, because I may not believe Obama on much but I really fell for the tax refund promise!

I want my refund. He promised! It's the least he can do.

What's really terrible is that today the democrats in Congress were talking about how they can take away our 401K plans to use for social security. Many people participate in the stock market through their 401Ks and many businesses are invested in that way.

If they're going to take that money, that will completely bring down the stock market. The stock market dropping yesterday is leading to layoff announcements today.
