I sure wonder

James Pethokoukis has a lot of hit points propaganda from the rights. I sure wonder if he'll suck it up and admit he was wrong when his BS doesn't come true. Yes you can gloat if it comes true. I've read some of your articles and I sure wonder how you even qualify as business writer because you didn't write about about the facts.

QUOTE

"And that's why if Barack Obama is elected president next week, 2009 may well bring a concerted and all-out effort by the Obama administration and a Democratically dominated Congress to turn the generally pro-Republican Investor Class into an endangered class by, among other tactics, raising investment taxes and ending the tax preferences for 401(k)'s, IRAs, and other retirement accounts. Here is the emerging battle plan for Operation Investor Class Rollback:"

The question is how did the low capital gain tax did for the economy through 2008? How did the investors fare under the Bush administration?? Losing 50% of their investments must be really good. A lot of speculation and a market crash but James never see it that way. A lot of propaganda BS for the gullible. If the capital gains goes back to pre-Bush time, you can call it raising tax or you can see it as going back to the norm. We still have a few years to go to see whether your prediction come true or if it is just BULL.

I agree with a lot of the comments here

Like several of the posters, I am also someone who lives within their means. I have driven the same vehicle for 11 years, bought a small, very affordable condo that I pay extra principal on every month, and monitor my utility usage. I get that social secuity brochure every year that shows how much I've paid into the system and estimates of how much I'd receive. Please, that is a joke. I'm 31 and I will never see a dime of that money. We have all of these illegal immigrants milking the system of every penny they can get and Obama will do nothing because they=votes!! To be honest, I don't care if they are here as long as they aren't using government programs while getting paid under the table. Not all are like that, but many are.

I am an independent and tend to lean to the left of some social issues, but when it comes of fiscal issues I lean to the right. You shouldn't have to force people to save money! 3% isn't crap.

If you've been following the disasterous train wreck in progress Obama has us on since he was elected, you know we are in deep doo doo. Whatever happened to capitalism and individual freedom and responsibility?? Do we need to send him a copy of the childen's book "The Little Red Hen?"
