Whatever, Sarge. It's a mostly free World, you are free to remain ignorant if you want to. But, I'm confused, how could you POSSIBLY be upset about a post to SOMEONE ELSE... particularly one that mentions only two clearly demonstrable facts: 1) Bush raised taxes on short-selling - TRUE. 2) Same approach was tried by Japan's bureaucrats - and it failed - also TRUE. --------------------- The post in question: >>> What an idiot! >>> Bush raises TAXES on short-selling to manipulate stock prices higher (much like what the Japanese bureaucrats have been trying to do for a DECADE), and you think his interference with Free Markets is a GOOD THING! >>> Cyber-Socialist - your true colors are showing! ---------------------- As to the one other claim in my post - calling Cyber-Socialist an 'idiot'... I regard that as a self-evident truth... (seeing as how he'd just defended this clumsy bureaucratic manipulation of free markets - raising taxes on 'sells', not 'buys', to put an artificial face on the markets)... but your milage may vary.
