Walter - It's not evil to be wealthy. It is smart to reward those who invest in our economy. Capital gains from the stock market DO NOT INVEST IN OUR ECONOMY unless it's from an IPO or a secondary. It's a fallacy that this income is better for the economy than the income from wages. Wages are earned income, capital gains tax calculator gains in the stock market come from gambling. LOL, More

It's because the obvious campaign turnaround strategy against Gillibrand is that she's an unqualified Schumer lap dog who has changed so many of her positions that she can't be trusted to adhere to ANYTHING she promises, and the obvious campaign strategy against Ford is that he's a carpetbagger who is supposedly not liberal enough to win over the NY elites, and beside that he's also More

They will be replacing the justice with his ken if God still loves America. This means in terms of evaluation of candidates: Orientation toward the just = first. All other factors are in support of this notion. This includes special emotive understanding skills, for example - such are either in support of new employee orientation toward the just or they are a distraction. Further, More

When it's so obvious that many Republican governors show more fiscal leadership ability than the President why are the Democrat's scare tactics so effective leadership skills? I think Paul Ryan's roadmap for America is a fiscally responsible one. It isn't popular right now but it is the right medicine for our sick economy. I live in Indiana and Mitch Daniels has been a stellar governor. More

Romesh, I would not talk about other mental capabilities if I were you or are you just ignorant. Diamonds are not found in just Africa. Only 55% of the world's gem diamonds come from Africa. The number 2 and 3 gem diamond producing countries are the African countries of Russia and Canada. That other African country Australia was number 1 until the late 90s outproducing South Africa, More

If Turkish troops leave the island today, I bet the Greek Cypriots will start killing Turks again, that's why Turkish military is still in the island. I don't think Turkish government likes this situation because it cost them so expensive to keep the Turkish military in the island, moreover I don't think Turkish Cypriots also likes that the Turkish military stays in the island because More

Myanmar's government is going through a transition to retirement period, similar to the state in the Middle East currently. When I say similar, I meant the fact that there is a transition going on (supposedly). Obviously there are not major protests going on like in Egypt and Yemen as those countries go through a transition. Myanmar says they are moving towards a more democratic government, More

Almost every 55 year old i know is understandably jealous of their public sector brethern. It is harder than ever to make 100K these days in engineering, IT, sales and even if you do you will be lucky to put away 400K in an IRA after living expenses esp. with 2 or more kids. Almost every 55 yr old in govt makes 75K or more(even in a dept like welfare a case worker with 30 yrs makes More

Remember this kids. The unions at this point represent more public sector employees i.e our employees, than private sector workers. You pay taxes. Your taxes pay union workers.Union workers pay dues. Union chiefs hand out those dues to politicians who acquiesce to union demands because, after-all they owe the union for their position. The politicians then raise your taxes to pay union More

I think you nailed it, jay mack. The writing for fun instructor failed to understand that he should have been teaching his students how to write in the way their jobs require. In the case of police officers, filling in blanks on a traffic ticket is not really writing, and the instructor betrays his contempt for police by saying it is. A significant part of most police officers' days More
