so as I am watching CNBC and MSNBC this morming it becomes clear to me

[LSK]

None of these "business experts" have any answers except TAXES TAXES TAXES. Their only answer to anything is "dont tax me bro". They don't know anything else. NOTHING ELSE.

No answers.

Almost the entire financial world is held hostage by this no tax ideology.

Guess what clueless investor motherfuckers? The party is up. Obama WILL be the next President. The Dems WILL have a huge majority. I hope they tax the ever loving shit out of you selfish mother fuckers.

The party is up investor assholes, step aside and let the grownups take control.

1. My husband's advice: They are not experts and they don't

know much. They are television entertainers.

[Supersedeas]

2. Lack of Regulation was not the problem, unhinged Capitalism - no problem, Barney Frank is the sole

source of blame according to the Morning Biznits that I saw

[LSK]

5. yes because the minority party controled committees from 1994-2006

Right.

[Supersedeas]

18. maybe Papa Doc Barney Frank used is powerful voodoo on the Republican Majorities

[dkf]

6. The real problem is a lack of transparency.

Everybody things the other guys could be insolvent so there is no trust.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. That was the problem in the depression as well

[orwell]

11. The real problem...

...is the titanic fiat money debt bubble. That has been the real problem for almost 40 years.

They always end this way.

[dkf]

3. There may not be much to tax after ths is over.

Sad but true.

[dysfunctional press]

13. bullshit.

there's PLENTY of wealth left in this country.

[Stellabella]

20. No, with the top 1% owning at least 50% of the wealth,

There's plenty to tax. I also want to see all the money back from the golden parachutes those bastards took.

4. Hear! Hear!

I hope they tax the ever loving shit out of you selfish mother fuckers. :applause: :applause:

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. 90% sounds just about right....

the free traders last night were funny... to their credit the CNNI crew actually confronted them

[Old Codger]

8. it is sadly true

There are some out there that are against taxes just as a knee jerk reaction, I have a friend who makes quite a bit more that I do, she cries every year because she has to pay a lot of taxes, I told her I would trade with her any time she wished, I will take her income and tax bill and she can have mine.... She does the same crying every year, I make the same offer and she sees that I am right then we go through it again the next year... They cannot let it go.

10. Pundits are NOTHING more than opinion givers. Anyone

ok, almost anyone on DU could do just as good a job as ANY pundit on cable or network tv. And the "experts" on the financial outlets.....they are nothing more than rich investors who are looking out for their own good. Their "advice" isnt for we commoners.

[LSK]

12. well based on taxed policies from 2001-2008, someone listened to them

[gratuitous]

14. THEY KNOW NOTHING! NOTHING! NOTHING!

I heard that somewhere.

But as far as taxes go, are these the same economic geniuses who applauded George W. Bush's fatcat tax cuts while he was launching two elective wars of empire? Don't you have to raise some revenue when you're raising an army? Seems like a simple, time-tested formula to me, but I don't have an MBA from Harvard like Mr. Bush does, so there's probably some subtlety that I'm missing.

[tabasco]

15. They say what they're supposed to on the telescreen.

They probably know better but they are paid propagandists.

Gutless, lying shitheels.

[JohnnyRingo]

16. I have a right wing friend, though not a good friend, who carps constantly about his tax burden

He emailed me sometime ago about having to pay $3000 tax on his $8000 gain in the market, leaving him with only a $5000 net.

I replied that we had a bit of good fortune in my family, that my son lost his job at a local factory, so he was getting a huge tax cut for himself and my three grandkids.

I wrapped up by expressing gratitude that my son didn't have to endure his problems.

He went back to emailing me beer commercials with tits and redneck jokes.

17. Expert schmexpert

No one bats an eye at $8 per trade going to a brokerage, and that's at the cheap end. If a small percentage went to the government, all of a sudden they don't have enough money to pay it. These no tax chumps are the first to complain if they see a pothole in the road or if it takes more than 5 minutes for a cop to show up when they call 911.

19. Watch Bloomberg is you can, nuts and bolts and no flashy graphics.
