    WSJ: The Tax That Won't Die

    I believe giving to a charity is noble. Buffet is choosing that a charity and not government is the best use for his estate wealth. Yet at the same time he wants government to take more estate taxes for people who have less options then Buffett. There are many family business's that would...

    WSJ: The Tax That Won't Die

    I don't see giving the money to the Government makes it fair. Usually estate assets are in the form of land or private business. It's as noble to give it to the children as opposed to forcing a sale to pay taxes. Why disrupt an operating business.

    2010 and 2012 prediction

    (via Political Wire) Public Policy Polling: Perhaps the greatest measure of Obama's declining support is that just 50% of voters now say they prefer having him as President to George W. Bush, with 44% saying they'd rather have his predecessor. Given the horrendous approval ratings Bush...

    2010 and 2012 prediction

    Palins standing can only go up from here. She can control her message. She has already risen quite a bit. On the other hand Obama can only hope for good luck. If he can create jobs in spite of his policies, it is his only chance.

    Trader EXECUTED in China

    This is very true. The people like the government for the most part. They were very happy with the government response to the earthquake. We also know the government was responsible for the extraordinary amount of deaths from the earthquakes.

    Obama's 47 Percent Approval Lowest of Any President at This Point

    The main difference is that Reagen 's policies set us up for the recovery. Obama's policies will not. At this point in time it is very difficult to decide if an investment in business is smart. Many investors, hedge funds, venture and angel investors can not forecast costs, risks and...

    If everything is so great, why is oil dropping like gold?

    Ocean freighters are dropping prices sharply for Pacific containers into the USA. Seems that there are too many empty containers sitting in China that went unused for the holiday season. Consumer economic activity is very slow.

    Palin's Father: She Left Hawaii Because Asians Made Her Uncomfortable

    I am hesitant to even add a post to your thread. I have noticed many of your more recent threads have faded into the archives with Zero responses. At one time you did make well thought out yet illogical posts. Now your mind has gone to mush between the Palin / Tiger posting.

    Another rockhead from the south...

    Obama has no feelings in denying the children of America an animated tribute to the joy of Christ and Christmas. For a speech he could have made 3 months ago. Obama is on record for not participating in Christmas. Why? maybe its a Muslim thing for him. By Alex Spillius in Washington...

    Proposed new WAR TAX

    We were in a state of war with Iraq already. Our troops were stuck in Saudi Arabia for 10 years in a siege against Iraq. Were we just to pull the troops out and let the Saudis and Kuwaitis deal with the mess. Let Iran have its way? If we did win Afghanistan first would you move our troops...

    If we did it your way, then after we fixed Afghanistan we then would deal with Iraq 10 years later, stronger and probably with WMD's. better to deal with Iraq when we did.

    So, you long the S&P?

    This is an astute observation...That shot down to 1067 found a whole bunch of buyers. Ruined what was becoming a "top heavy" pattern, at least in the short term.
