Great post. Obama will raise a whole new group of lazy people and, sad to say, most will be minorities and they will be living off of those who worked hard to get ahead. Everyone who wanted "change" needs to remember that "change" is not necessarily a positive. I have no problem if he wants to raise taxes, but do it for everyone; stop discriminating against one class.

Likewise, wake up and realize the folly of the entire idea. Someone making 250 in Manhatten is barely getting by. Is it really fair to tax them the same as the guy making 250k in Lubbock, TX?

Yes we all have to pay too many taxes and have to work too hard to make the money to pay them... when you start a business you have to work twice as hard to make the money you want to make, and someone should realize that you should not be penalized for that.

Someone who makes 250k with three kids is not rolling in it if they have overhead. Then when you leave the money behind for the kids that was taxed at a higher rate to begin with Obama will take another 50% inheritance tax... so you spend your weekends, holidays, and evenings away from home to provide and then you get to enjoy 25% of it in the end. It's ridiculous... if someone wants to make more money they need to work for it not stand in line... look at your golden boy "Poor black man whose grandmother did..." rags to riches right... "all it takes is determination...YES WE CAN" take a note from your fearless leader.

The sad thing is that a total moron could be in office the next four years and that same total moron will get credit for turning around the mkt even if nothing gets done. The mkt moves in economic cycles and now we are in a bad one. Four years from we will likely be in a good one. Obama will get the credit and he will have nothing to do with it.

Wow!!! Two days in a row the DOW tanks over 400 points. Wall street really can't stand our new President-elect...at this rate the DOW will be in negative numbers by the time the annointed one takes office. No worries though, all he has to do is lay his hands on the dow, bless it, and the clouds will part, the sun will shine and the DOW will heal itself...

Have a great day!!!

Do a little fact checking on the history of the DOW dropping after EVERY Presidential election.
