If you made as much money from trading as you act like you do your average tax rate would be higher than the AMT and it wouldn't be issue. You sound like "Joe the Trader", incensed at the taxes on his imaginary trading gains.
It will be a slow grind down, obama will accelerate it, but it was inevitable anyway. Demographics, history, and the changing nature of the modern economy are all working against the good ol united states. Hussein hasn't a clue, all he can see is the unequal distribution of wealth and he is gonna fix that all right, and fix all of us along the way.
There is a line that I draw, regarding the government "legally" robbing me - a line after which I say "I would rather you just killed me". If everyone else has a similar line, then the government would do well to not cross it. The only thing that scares me is that people do not have such a line, and will allow the government to eventually take 100% of what they produce. But something tells me, that line <i>should</i> exist in people, and probably does; even the smallest, gentlest animal will bite when backed into a corner.
I suppose 88 was on your football jersey? Or do you just not care? no trefoil, it is in honor of your IQ

After policies have made it more attractive to live off the government tit than to work, especially. Maybe some people's line won't be crossed until the handouts start to dry up from overuse... like an old junky's vein. So, the title of this discussion is "Some Good Things That Will Come From Obama"... WHAT good things exactly will come from Obama?
The average testosterone level in men has dropped 100 points in the last 20 years. I agree...the problem is most will not fight back, until it is (almost?) too late. Low testosterone is more dangerous than high....for a number of reasons.
