They want taxes to be as low as possible. You need to look at this from a larger historical perspective to understand what I'm talking about.


Weird, I thought most GOPers wanted no taxes at all. I mean, you just wrote that, and it's what they campaigned on (and lost). And the Dems wanted taxes on the rich - which they did get. Which they got. So it seems everybody wins?

Well goodie! They should keep it up; I would love to see more compromise, especially since it's both benefitting the country and tearing the conservative voting base in twain. I'd actually like the GOP a lot more if they kicked out the social cons and only had the fiscal ones willing to compromise left.

What part of "stocks plummet when Obama wins re-election" makes you think that markets respond favorably when liberals win?

Welllllll, they didn't. So... uh...

Hey, if conservatives say they lost, Democrats said they won, and I made money on the deal, I don't care how you spin it. Bring on more GOP losses! Or wins, from your view. They work for me! Smiley: nod
