"He said it in a speech,"
(That you *dreamed*? No one else has ever heard of any such thing....)
"I defy you to go look for it yourself"
I'd be happy to!
WHERE was it?
WHEN was it?
WHERE did you 'see it'????????????? (And how hammered were you at the time? ;-)
"and don't waste my time,"
Wouldn't DREAM OF IT! (But, hey! YOU are the one who said that he "said it"... and you specifically said that he said it "two weeks ago"... so I don't see where anyone is requiring that you 'waste' any time remembering. <g>)
"I know what I heard..."
Sure....
(You just can't remember where you 'heard it', or when, or what the content of this supposed speech was... or ANYTHING ELSE that would enable a mere mortal to go look it up to verify this supposed 'statement' where Obama supposedly said that he was "going to DOUBLE the capital gains tax".)
Hint --- you've been posting pretty much the same thing for several months now so there is at least ONE THING that we mere mortals can verify --- you are misremembering that this supposed 'Obama statement' was anything like "two weeks ago" else it would not have been possible for you to have posted comments about it more then a month ago. :-)
Hint #2 --- Obama has never said that he was going to "double the cap. gains tax rate". What his people said last Fall was that he was still considering 'where the final proposed rate might be in his proposal', but he allowed as how whatever proposal he finally came up with *might* allow for a max. rate as 'high as 28%'. That was a "might", not a "will be". <g>
But now, as you can clearly see, he has finalized his proposal on cap. gains --- and it seeks to MAKE PERMANENT for most folks Bush's temporary rate of 15%... while making permanent a higher rate of 20% for individuals making in excess of $200,000 per year, or joint returns in excess of $250,000.
(All rates significantly LOWER then they were under Reagan, Bush I, or Clinton and, as I pointed out --- making permanent for the vast majority of people Bush II's temporarily lowered 15% rate.) |
