Rev, can't you at least make some kind of effort to be informed ? You do everybody a disservice by making this stuff up out of thin air like you do.

The capital gains tax rate affects EVERYBODY, because it affects economic growth, investment, and thus wages. This is clearly illustrated by the fact that capital gains revenue went UP after the rates were slashed. The rate also affects stockholders, which are nearly 50% of the adult population. Here, read the following link to get a vague idea of the subject. You're education is no charge. I like to help the disadvantaged.

You mean the 6 percent that make over 100K?

Returning the capital gains rate back to where it was only affects the richest. Mutual funds don't enter into this. And your, "probably will affect 100 million", has no substantiation, that's why you said probably.

Thanks for pointing out Obama's lie, Rev.

Obama wants to eliminate the Social Security cap, which is a massive tax increase on anyone making 97K and above, and he also wants to double the capital gains tax, which is another massive tax increase on the non-rich which will affect probably 100 million of us at one time or another.

Not to mention the fallacy in Obama's thinking that he can soak the rich and not have it filter down to the little guy. Happens every time, like clockwork. Higher prices, reduced wages, lost jobs, higher rents, etc. You name it. It's a fools paradise.

Standing ovation for Mack ! Outstanding.

It did say like global terrorism is down 40 percent. That's pretty good.

Come on roy, you can tell me…..this Barack Obama guy is something, isn't he? Should make all of us proud to be Americans. I know you'll disagree with some of his ecomonic policy decisions….but I know you can see the uniqueness of this young guy. He'll be good for the country.

"In December 2007, new data released by NCTC revealed that the combined fatalities from Islamist and non-Islamist violence in Iraq had sharply declined by 55 percent. This decrease lowered the global fatality toll by 40 percent."

Now look at what we have. We go to Iraq, stir up a bunch of new terrorism, drive the new terrorism numbers up, then take a few years to get the new terrorist problem under control, somewhat. Then we count all of this as a decrease in global terrorism.

It's kind of bogus, the numbers thing….but I'm glad the numbers are down.
