Your wrong. Wages are earned with putting in your time and effort. Capital gains are a result of investing your own $'s and taking a gamble the project will return a profit. Big dam*d difference! Would you put up your house and car and all your savings to invest in a project that "might" return a profit and expect to pay an income tax percentage as high as the person who earns in exchange for spending time on the job with no risk of any assets involved?
There is NO gamble in putting your money in oil while the government is pumping the markets.
All the same I am NOT wrong. I'll explain.
I want to start a small business. I hope to expand it to 30 employee's. To do this I have to work a regular 40 hour week and use that money to invest in my start up. The money I am using to create this business is taxed as income. Why should the money I'm making to invest be taxed at a higher rate?
You lose your house and car and savings either way if the company fails.
That's just your opinion and I would disagree. After having the terrorists attack us and kill Americans around the world at least 20 times over many years ending with 9/11 and with other attacks of the same scale planned here in America, I applaud President Bush for the action taken which has proved to have stopped tremendous horrors that were planned for America since we had not done anything to really stop them before 9/11!
They attacked us in the first place because we were in their yard. I'm going to guess that you would argue that one can use deadly force to protect their property if need be?
We just had an American citizen set off a bomb in Syria. I suppose Syria should attack us now?
Agreed about the contents of any bill. a bill should address one particular issue and never have porky crap tacked on to grease it so some will pass it.
Exactly, and that was what the GOP was trying to do with the Veterans' bill............attach pork to it!
So you think doctors will work for free at VA hospitals?
$150 billion dollars. In there is enough to pay doctors.
