No, what?
Romney didn't pay more than 14% tax on profit from his 'investment'?
Raising the capital gains tax does not stifle investment, in fact history demonstrates the opposite.
Do you need me to post the links for you again?

Dan Aykroid was right, you are an ignorant slut. Blogs do not an argument make.

I'm making the argument and using links to help you understand. Your continual name calling doesn't help your position. Were you a bully growing up, or did others just make you feel insecure?

"Even at the end of a presidential election campaign, we have no way to know what Mitt Romney really believes. The contradictory character of his pronouncements over the course of his political career is perhaps the most consistent aspect of his public record, and it is hardly predictive of the kind of leadership that would seriously challenge and override the extreme desires and policies of the Tea Party. Indeed, Romney has been at his eloquent best when embracing its positions and arguments. His surreptitiously recorded "47 percent" remarks were the perfect expression of radical Tea Party ideology. "One of his problems, if Romney is elected, is going be fending off the right wing from pushing this nutty stuff, like Clinton had to fend off nutty stuff from his far-left," says the campaign advisor. "Clinton was fundamentally a moderate [president]. I think Romney would be too.

Radicalism as such is hardly dishonorable or misguided in itself. Radical thought has inspired many of the great political and social reform movements in American history, from ending slavery to establishing the minimum wage. The American Revolution and Declaration of Independence, it has often been argued, were fueled by the most radical of all American political ideas.

Today's Republican Party, driven by the Tea Party movement, is equally radical. It represents as extreme a shift in political philosophy as any of the radical ideologies that have prevailed in our history. Even Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Jeb Bush, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush are all apostates from its ideological orthodoxy. In their place, the movement substitutes Eric Cantor, the Koch Brothers, Rush Limbaugh, Michele Bachmann, Grover Norquist, and Glenn Beck."

Far more people are invested in retirement plans and helped by a low capital gains tax rate. Also, your lack of business knowledge...[love it or leave it nonsense redacted]

Tax-advantaged retirement plans (401k, etc.) are not taxed for capital gains. They are taxed for income upon withdrawal. Roth IRA's are taxed for capital gains only upon early withdrawal.

From your own mouth, it seems the Tea Party is in good company...

<quoted text>Heh, you are still an ignorant ****. Your link does nothing to refute the fact that the money Romney INVESTED had already been taxed once at regular rates. I guess you would prefer that he NOT invest his money that he has already made and just stuff it in a mattress?

Capital gains taxes don't tax the investment capital. They tax the gains. Nothing is double-taxed from Romney's wallet's perspective.

actually it was a quote from someone else huck
read the article, its point is romney is the consummate flip-flopper willing to take any side of an issue to get the vote, and although a moderate in MA would be an unknown in DC, one who may sell his soul and heretofore ideals entirely to the rightwingers while dragging this country into the past

But you electronically uttered the words...your insistance that I am "huck" only proves your slip from reality into your own little fantasy world. And, why do I need to read the article when you paraphrased so well?

So how is Carl B in your little fantasy world? He is as clueless as you, when he references "the political order that has prevailed in America for the better part of the past century"! What world have you been living in? Watergate...Impeachment of Clinton...9/11...Sex Scandals...Wall Street Collapse...Mortgages for all...this is "political order"? Really? And why would we want to go BACK to that order he speaks of, if it was sooo bad? You spout how Romney wants to take us back to the dark ages, yet your messiah Bernstein says the "past century" had political order? So which is it? Do we go back, or do we go "Forward"? You can't have both...
