That means any bargaining now is essentially hostage taking and should have been called out as such. The President could have stood firm for a clean vote, and I think he would have won a LOT of political clout taking that approach. He seems to want to bargain with the crazies.Milesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-28085301857543277502011-07-23T16:34:00.508-04:002011-07-23T16:34:00.508-04:00raising taxes on corporations will ONLY cut into t...raising taxes on corporations will ONLY cut into the zillions of dividends paid out quarterly into<br /><br />IRA s, 401-k s and the multitude of annuities, mutual funds, pension funds, etc...<br /><br />so, raising taxes on Big Business won't hurt Big Business it will ultimately be a tax on the majority<br /><br />who the hell can live on 1.1 to 0 % return on their nest-egg via T-bills<br /><br />where IS any PLAN on either side ?<br /><br />this IS NOT an NFL football game or maybe it is Millionaires (the players) against Billionaires (the owners)<br /><br />oh well fun and games ...<br /><br />I'll be watching the stock-market monday see if I can "bottom feed"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-59626745063657689532011-07-23T14:14:40.556-04:002011-07-23T14:14:40.556-04:00Deletion is the answer
