Reminds me of "austerity" or "spending cuts" that are just reductions in the obscene and bloated "planned spending". Let's face it, we are completely immersed in Orwellian double talk. It's so pervasive that we can hardly remember a time when it wasn't this way...

You're right. Reminds me of all the growth forecasts for 2012 (made in Q4 2011). Of course, they get revised down, more hype about another round of QE...then the markets correct (remember our correction earlier this year..the pundits were already convinced we were in a recession), all of a...

We're re-playing the same euphoria of the 2003-2008 period, albeit in a more manic depressive, shortened timespan. Same monetary tricks, same herd mentality, etc...The Fed on the bid hyping up "asset inflation at all costs", etc... One little problem with pursuing asset inflation as fix...

IOW, the tax "savings" completely disappear after the accountant increases his "billable hours" to prepare the business return.

Agreed.

Agreed. Anybody who has traded futures for more than a year is intimately familiar with 60/40 tax treatment. I'm supposed to believe that a guy with 20 years of experience can't comprehend the difference between 60/40 on personal futures profits vs. the tax bite of SE taxes on a profit split...

"Middle class investors" is about 10 years too late. I'm sure you've seen the stats that equity outflows have been going on for the past few years, in spite of the equity rally. ZIRP is closing down alot of those equity accounts for middle class investors.

It's just going to continue to worsen. 2008 was the last shot at cleaning up some of this bullshit. Instead, it just went into overdrive (alas, just as it did in the early 2000's).

There's a neverending demand for phones NOT in their name. Better yet, in nobody's name. I'm sure the guys taking those phones in for drugs go thru about a dozen of them a month.

He's got just about everybody who isn't a flaming lib on ignore. Meanwhile, his comrades always bitch about how all the supposed "rightie's" only use the ignore list.

LOL. Trefoil continues to prove that he is the biggest TAMPON on this site. Fucking liberal bitch!

Had the misfortune of riding on those shithole trains some years back. Some of the mangiest people you'd ever want to meet were on that thing...A Greyhound on the rails. The food was worse than any school cafeteria you would care to remember. About the only thing that I found half way...

You even have to ASK that question? Put your "thinking cap" on.

Actually, pspr, it's not necessarily the Illinois voters, just a small subset of racists like RCG who re-elect these clowns. They call it "loyalty".

The lobbyists owned Bush and they own Obama as well. But the libtards will rationalize anything as justified simply because "he isn't as bad as Dubya". We witnessed the exact same mentality leading up to the 2004 election. The Neo-Cons and Bush defenders were busy rationalizing the need for...

You're the "Ed McMahon" of these forums.

Now that's change I can believe in.

Where do you come up with this stuff? In the better school districts in this country, parents pay thru the nose for their children's education. It's called property taxes. Do you not understand that the bulk of those taxes go directly to the public schools? (btw, the student's aren't...

Chicago's crime is concentrated in gang "hot zones". Majority in the south and west sides of Chicago...some of it on the North side, but that's the sort of thing that typically isn't murder or drive by's. Libtards don't like it when people mention the race of the offenders, somehow that just...

Yes, and when confronted, he either leaves the thread or leaves us with another one of his idiotic riddles. I still think the guy married into the family business.
