I really think all arguments regarding government run healthcare and universities in other countries compared to what the liberals envision for us are useless once you factor in the demographics of the citizenry as another commenter pointed out. Norway has like 4.7 million people after all. Jacking up our taxes to European levels isn't going to give us the European lifestyle. It's a cliche, but if that's the way you want to live your life, move there.

cluzo-
what kind of investor are you if you don't think increasing the capital gains rate and taxes will have no effect on finance?

How does that graph you linked to yesterday at 4:15 show that the tax burden is being shifted to the middle class? If Johnny has a dime bag, and Peter has a QP, how big a stash does Mary have? The answer is: You can't determine it from the information given.
You know that the corporate taxes paid by big oil are greater than the income taxes paid by the bottom 50% of individual taxpayers?

That one was intended more as a joke you hoser. Political shortsight on both sides of the aisle has gotten us into this jam. How come you guys don't have issues with the treehuggers preventing you from using your abundant supplies of oil/gas/timber etc? We've got plenty here too if the special interest groups would just let us at it.

#38:
Clinton was an Economics major? That would be news to him. Better do another Google search on that one Sparky. His balanced budgets? Well, the dot-com boom that flooded government coffers had a big part to do with that. Bill also drastically cut back on military spending, much to the detriment of our nation's security. Even Obama says he wants to increase the size of our armed forces. So at what cost did that balanced budget come?
McCain might have admitted he doesn't know much. At least he is not pretending to know like your boy Obama is. Clearly anyone who is 'smart' would not be advocating the populist nonsense that he has been spouting. What is Obama's Economics background anyway?
Funny thing about JFK, he was probably the last Democrat that actually cut taxes while he was in office.

62- If Obama wasn't a halfrican american, he wouldn't be the candidate either, and this race would be much different.

Graydon doesn't have a penny or two in a fund or fund of funds somewhere? Unlikely. Ass.

Obana and the rest of the Socialists love Wall Streeters and their big paychecks though right? It's great how they come for your campaign donations and then villify the fact that you are succesful.

@11, and the Democrats don't have a desire to impose their beliefs on the the populace? What world do you live in?

@18. 8 years of GWB, and I don't see anyone being forced to go to Church every Sunday. McLame is no where near the Bible thumper that W is. What are you so afraid of?
The Democrats have a desire to change the way I live my life in far more concrete ways than anyone on the right is proposing.

Who knows what is going to happen with the rules regarding short selling financials?
Kramer just said this could be financial terrorism.

If you are used to one type of lifestyle, and then it is taken away from you by the government, you would probably be somewhat upset. If you never had a taste of that certain lifestyle, it probably wouldn't matter too much to you.
For those who are talking about how it's only a tax increase of a few percent here and there that Barry wants to impose:
I don't know about the rest of you, but the sooner I can stop going to work every day, the better. Every dollar taken away from me now and going forward is a dollar that I can't save and invest for such things as my children's college education and my retirement. The more taken away now, the less my money is compounded over the finite amount of time that I have to reach those goals.
The government is going to do all it can to keep us working as long as possible. It's in its best interest to do so. Government should work for the people, not the other way around.
