I don't see it in terms of Red versus Blue - I see it in terms of fundamental fairness. The fact of the matter is that the Dems and the Repubs buy off their respective constituents with tax breaks and tax loopholes - both parties are whores in that respect. The Democratic Party had complete...

I do not have an opinion about the direction of the market - as a spread trader I couldn't care less. The point is that armaggedon gets priced into the market. That last price print you see is a composite distillation of everything that is known or suspected about that particular instrument's...

Flat tax, no deductions.

47 % of US Adults pay no Federal Income Tax - that is an IRS published fact. So whom are you referring to ?

Based on the content of and the motivation for the thread starter; net sum a bad idea IMO.

He should hold several more press conferences first. Have you noticed that since Reid took 'revenue enhancements' off the table that Obama is the only party to this adventure still talking taxes ?

Dude, with all due respect, having traded through wars and crashes and limit markets in both the pit and on the screen - this is way more political than it is practical. Look at the futures price action for God's sake and chillax. NP.

This actually plays right into the Fed's hands in terms of making US manufacturing more competitive.

Good, that will slow down further Fed QE since deflating the USD has been the strategy all along. Might get a manufacturing bump out of it.

Put down the pipe, not even close. And FYI, the downgrade has been baked into the cake for quite a while now.

It means that your prejudice has blinded you from acknowledging a simple truth reported directly by George Soros to the Washington Post - namely, that he doesn't like the pending regulations surrounding his investment activities so he's closing himself off to outside investors. It's just that...

But the GOP doesn't have their power base in play for 2012 like the Dems do... 1} Obama is running, not Bush. 2} 23 Senate Dem seats in play versus 11 Repub seats. 3} Obama is running far behind Romney is the only states that are going to matter: Ohio, Michigan, and Florida. If...

Arnie, it has nothing to do with the marginal rates - those are political talking points. It is all about the deductions and loopholes. They had a 95% top marginal rate in 1960 but the IRS didn't collect any more money from the top rate taxpayers due to the accounting allowed. Flat tax...

And you're washed up. Here is the Washington Post headline, verbatim: "Hero to liberals, Soros ends hedge fund career to escape regulations"...

For sure. The author has never seen an actual CME or Eurex order book in his life and obviously doesn't have an inkling about the notional value of the swaps and cash markets that get traded. Incredibly common, routine occurrence for size like that to trade.
