Is there any macro economic proof?
:what: :what: :what:

I just explained to you how investors think

But yes there is a correlation between rates and investing... every time rates were slashed gains realized increased the same year, indicating investors "jumped in" to take advantage of the lower rates

Historical Capital Gains and Taxes

But even still, the fact that you don't understand that if people have less money after taxes, they will invest less after tax money is bewildering

Guys Obama wasn't going to get everything. There was 1 main goal and 1 main goal only. Raise taxes on the Rich. Then there were other goals like keeping social security and medicare intact. As for the tax issue They started with 250 and they got 400. That's what's call negotiation. 250 may have been to low cause those are a lot of small business owners. 400k makes sense, one you start seeing that wealth you really are in a upper bracket. Now we have see how this all plays out but judging from republican reaction they didn't get much.

According to CNN only 0.6% of all Americans make more than 400K per year.

I put the link in the post you quoted. Nevermind though...Levin wasn't on tonight. Some other clown who wasn't 1/100th as entertaining was his replacement for the night.

Samething with Rush today. I was looking forward to hearing some good old fashioned brimstone anger, only to be disappointed with some substitute teachers.

These business publications, business elites and business media in general were complicit in fostering the atmosphere that resulted in the creation and success of the Tea Party Monster. Now they want to complain cause they can't control the Frankenstein.

My paycheck is lower today by about $40.

Social security taxes are back up by 2%.

It's funny how a 2% raise on everyone making $105,000 or less is no big deal, but raising taxes by 4% on people making making $250,000 is tantamount to killing the economy.
