you just admitted that lowering the capital gains rates raises revenue. you also haven't tackled the fact that `100,000,000 americans are affected by this tax.
Cutting capital gains rates reduces revenues over the long run. That’s the conclusion of the federal government’s official revenue-estimating agencies, as well as outside experts and the Bush Administration’s own Treasury Department.

um, do you seriously think I, or anyone else for that matter, respects the opinion of the federal government? they are foaming at the mouth at the prospect of taxing the hell out of the poor and middle class's retirement funds. it makes them more dependent. liberal hatred of the poor is shameful.

I forgot we can only trust Fox news and Rush radio.
We can not trust economists who work for the government (they are part of the communist conspiracy plot, that Fox news and Rush radio talks about.)
The inability to properly dissect and understand the issues with Europe and how that relates to United States seems to be a huge weakness on this board by some ideological posters.
Normally this is under the guise of "socialism" a term that seems little understood (or little relevance) to the issues at hand.
1) Europe's 12.2% unemployment isn't that far off from United States unemployment, especially if you factor in how we count disability
2) Countries like Italy and Greece have huge issues with corruption/tax evasion/etc. . .
3) I do agree that the worker protections (not exactly socialism) in France and some other European companies hinders hiring. I.e. its too expensive to hire, if you guarantee so much
Yet these factors aren't socialism. Socialism would require government ownership (the people) of the industries (aka Soviet Russia). That isn't happening here. . .at least to a huge extent.
but alas I suppose the term socialism is used more as a weapon or blunt force object to strike out against people you don't like, not an actual relevant name for a economic system.
So you're saying billionaires and those who make $100,000 a year, should send the same size check to the IRS.
In order for Bill Gates to pay $27,000 a year in taxes, what would his tax rate have to be ??
A better question is, how low should we make billionaires tax rates to make things fair ??
I think a better question is "so you're saying that $27,000 and $170,000,000 are the same sized check?" hope you don't work in accounts payable. $170,000,000 is low?

what is "rush radio?" and what is "fox news?" is it a news channel specifically for foxes? or is it a news channel that employs good looking women? I'll have to check it out some time. meanwhile, you have some math errors to explain.

Like Fox news and Rush radio say,
"Only the rich pay taxes."
"The rich made all the right choices."

is that where you get your news? if so, you might consider a new source.
