Kramer on Mad Money was saying a few days ago to buy at 7500, but I think it'll go lower. Some are now predicting 4k. I wish I had some extra cash to spare. You could make a killing off this >.

Ben the Wii-man would know http://www.dalelujo.com/data/media/31/Wee_man.jpg

I don't think you'll see something like that because of the wiimotes limited movement due to it's narrow field of view with the IR sensor. It has to be pointed at the sensor bar for the wii to know where it is, and you can't really have a good sword fight like that.

This brings a new meaning to the term "instagib"

When politicians talk about the rich, they're typically not talking exclusively of people in the upper 1% of income earners, because purely taxing so few people still won't cover the bills. They're talking about Mrs. Smith the lawyer and Dr. Smith her husband with a combined income of over $200k. Just tired of a lot of things I've read regarding the economy on the internet recently. Sorry if I took it out on you Well, thankfully, no one running is talking about doing that. But that's not to say they won't.

The majority of stocks aren't owned by those super wealthy people, though. They're owned by retirement plans mostly and savings investments. Capital gains tax penalize the middle and upper middle classes savings. Increasing that tax only hurts them. At lease in a fair tax plan, if a wealthy guy wants to buy a yacht, he pays out the ass for it in taxes. The difference in something like this and income/capital taxes is that he has a choice. If he wants to live like a quaker he doesn't pay taxes and more power to him.

Oh yeah, cuz every rich person is just like Paris Hilton. Great example dude! Seriously, come off it man. The majority of "the rich" are doctors, lawyers, small business owners, investors, and any number of other professionals all of which almost always require a degree if not post-graduate degrees and 12 hour a day jobs. Don't demonize these people because you don't like the fact that they earn six or seven figures a year. Penalizing them for this is asinine.

Dude, the people that make their livings on the stock market work like 80 hours a week. Just because it isn't physical labor doesn't mean they aren't working hard. Secondly, lowering the capital gains tax is proven to spur both domestic and foreign investments which strengthen the economy and provide a stable environment for businesses to operate and in return creates jobs. Hence the incredibly low jobless rate we've all taken for granted most of the last 8 years (yes, now it's going up, but still it was at all time lows most of W's two terms in office). Sure, they wan't to keep more of their money, but the result is your ass having a job so I wouldn't knock it. All the marxist class warfare bullshit I've seen/read recently is getting a bit old. Can't you just leave that crap in the 19th century where it belongs?

srsly. how the hell is that fair? Why should someone be penalized for being productive? What a great reward for hard work, education, and intelligence. We take your money and give it to other people!
-
That isn't what the fair tax is at all o_O http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairtax http://www.amazon.com/Fair-Tax-Book-Saying...9440&sr=8-2 Not to mention that money=power, and taking your money from your paycheck was the biggest gift of power the US Government ever gave itself. It has no interest in losing that power.

A lot of people already go there. I'd kill to go to the UAE for a week, but hotels are $$$$ there. But the service in all of them is world class, so you pay for what you get.
