You like double taxation? Really? I say since you do? Let's do something special and triple tax your Retirement/Social Security and see if you don't change your tune son.

It is not double taxation. It is a tax on capital "gain" ......it hasn't been taxed before

It's Double Taxation.

Loon.

The principal is not taxed....only the profit

Stop making shit up

How many times do Libs want to put their hands in someones pocket.
Money after taxes is invested and money is made or lost.
Make money on investment and pay capital gains tax...
Lose money and you can write some of that off.

Sounds fair so far....

But not for Libs....

Present rate on Capital gains is not enough it seems for the Libs....

But then again we will never pay enough taxes to make Libs happy.

It's just the way it is.

They play the "Zero Sum Game". They're intentionally keeping the pie small.

Moreso than labor that produces a product? I don't think so

It is labor that built this country

Hard to find people willing to labor for nothing.

Hard to find capitalists willing to build a product themselves

Bull shit.

Government Cut Massive Jobs

Economy Created Far More Jobs Than Government Cut.

Looks like Obama is the only president in my lifetime to increase private sector employment while reducing the size of government & lowering government jobs.

Capital is the only thing that gives people the incentive to get off their ass. There is no labor without capital.

No capital without labor

Let's tax them the same

Just to be clear, you want to tax all investment the way labor is taxed?

He like Obama, The Democrats, and certain RINO's want to KILL the economy altogether so they can 'Fix It' in their image.

Dow Average and S&P 500 Hit New Highs
Stocks Notch Records as Beaten-Down Shares Mount a Rally

nvestors snapped up shares of companies large and small, driving major indexes to records and reviving beaten-down technology stocks.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 112.13 points, or 0.7%, to 16695.47, notching its second record finish in as many sessions and its third new high of 2014. The Dow notched 52 records in 2013.

The S&P 500 added 18.17 points, or 1%, to 1896.65, squeezing out its ninth record close of the year.

That along with a great April jobs report should really be making you folks cry.

What have liberals done specifically to grow the stock market?

Dodd-Frank, SEC, CFTC, FED, Treasury enforcement. Protecting investors from theft & keeping the system honest increases willingness to invest.

Cutting a lawn isn't building a product, but I bet (or hope) there is an entrepreneurial teenager in your neighborhood who would love to earn some money.

That's outrageously idiotic!

Can you describe what you believe would happen if we did that please?

Of course....reduce the tax burden on working Americans. Trickle down wealth and prosperity to all

Most importantly, prevent the wealthy from taking compensation as a capital gain rather than income

Dodd Frank and the SEC sparked a rally in the stock market??

None of those things made the market move. And all of the banks specifically loath Dodd Frank.

Only after RW send's his grass improvement money to the government. Can't get your grass cut without first paying your investment taxes.

Okay, just so I'm clear, if we taxed all investment as income, the only thing you think would happen is people who work will have more wealth and the rich will have a little less wealth. Is that right?

Wallstreet banks replaced big oil as the most hated companies in the USA. Of course those criminals hate Dodd Frank. Now they have to follow the laws like the rest of us. Now people can trust the markets & the massive outflows of money reversed becoming massive investment inflows. - Thanks for playing idiot!

I'm not looking to discuss the validity of Dodd Frank (I like to call it Dumb ****). You made the ludicrous claim that it was somehow a catalyst to the market rally we've seen. Can you kindly provide me with a link to anyone who also shares this view?

who exactly is this good news for? The poor? those on welfare? are the 47% of americans on entitlements getting off handouts? Or is this just a case of the rich getting richer?
