Would you consider Clinton as investor friendly? he didn't reduce the capital gains tax? But the investors benefitted tremendously because of Clintononomics. So what's your point Jake. Are you at it again? Off course, we all don't support our IRAs going into the unpredictability of the stock market. That is what Bush wants isn't it?

Shrub presided over the worst bear market in modern history. That would make him the goat as far as investors are concerned.

Kerry called for abolishing the double tax of dividends in a speech on December 2, 2002, but as soon as President Bush proposed the same initiative one month later, Kerry quickly denounced the proposal and voted against it seven times. Man, as we are seeing that is so typical. Sen. Kerry voted to remove the tax deduction for Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) in 1986 for families with incomes over $40,000 per year. He then voted against IRA expansion at least 10 times since then. Well, that's all part of the soak the rich philosophy. Everybody knows that people who earn 40K are rich. The original income tax was sold as a tax that would only hit the rich. The AMT was designed to prevent a handful of rich people from escaping taxation - soon 30 million people are going to be hit by it.

First 'Investor Class' Poll Finds Kerry Has Slight Edge Over Bush As Better Manager for US Economy Even Most Affluent Investors Are Far More Worried About Health Care Costs And Mounting Deficit Than Tax Cuts NEW YORK, March 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The first in a series of MONEY/ICR polls of the so-called "investor class" -- the roughly half of American households who own investments and are already being courted by both parties as an emerging political force -- finds that investors say Democratic candidate John Kerry (with 41%) would be a better manager of the U.S. economy over the next four years than George Bush (with 40%). The poll also found that American investors -- even the most affluent who make $75,000 or more -- say that containing health care costs and controlling the deficit are far more pressing economic concerns for the country than cutting taxes. The poll found 36% of investors say they are Republican, 33% Democrat and 26% Independent. biz.yahoo.com
