    Certainly a portion of it is due to raising taxes and forcing people to place money elsewhere. I wonder if they can guage that? I mean capitol gaines taxes raised 33% and with the "wealthy" looking at massive tax increases that money just goes elsewhere.

    Capital gains taxes raised 33%? When did that happen?

    The solution is simple--just raise taxes on those making over $250K. After all, that group can pay the tax burden of the entire country. :sigh:

    You are right. I thought the capitol gaines from investments was raised from 15% to 20% but I cannot find that it is true. My mistake. That's what I get for listening to righties.
