On low capital-gains tax rate:
ROMNEY: "Yeah, I think it’s the right way to encourage
economic growth, to get people to invest, to
start businesses, to put people to work."

Iben: It has been low for quite some time now, and
it isn't working.
What is it doing?
Answer:
People who sell stock and real estate for a profit
can keep more of the profit and roll it back into more
stock and real estate. Creating no jobs at all.

If the capital-gains tax rate was raised to 30%
it would probably create the same number of jobs
possibly more.
How many people work at Mr. Romney's company
where he created jobs what are those jobs,
how much do they earn working at Mr. Romney's company?
If the low capital-gains tax rate is helping
Mr. Romney create jobs at his company I want to know
all about it. How many jobs has this helped you
create at your company this year Mr. Romney?

Today's cartoon:
In the picture a man sits in a chair at a desk.
Behind him is a man holding a document in his
left hand that is a new tax law.
In his right hand is a pen that he is stabbing
the man in the chair with in the back.
The caption reads "The civilized world".

A preoccupation with matters of government and taxes detracts from the full enjoyment one could have in life if only they it go.

A smile requires less muscular effort than a frown.

Frequent frowns cause deeper wrinkles and skin discoloration.

Deep wrinkles and dark bags under the eyes suggest a preoccupation with things one cannot change.

Just sayin'

Due to the current trend in ratings, exaggeration
and chicken littles,
Jon Stewart is the "Omega Brain".

Anything you try to ignore or
pretend doesn't exist.

Mr. Romney buys the exact same Health insurance
policy as people in the middle class?
Mr. Romney likes his private insurance company
and if he doesn't he gets another one.

Lets say that some time in the first half
of this century Social Security and Medicare
become privatized.
What happens when all the private companies go
out of business?
A bail out.
