what does a tax matter if there's good financial health of the country?
Right now the rich are not contributing, and families are going bankrupt over medical bills.
If people can afford to live, they can afford to spend, and our economy can work. The rich who complain about contributing to our country should get the f--- out, or support america.
no free rides in this world.

- Public"Yet again, the EU is about to hold a summit to deal with the crisis in the eurozone. Yet again, it is likely to fall far short of a convincing solution. A heavy weight rests on the shoulders of weary and disillusioned leaders. The question is whether there is hope for success."

Expand this comment »Stiglitz offered no specifics about how to pay for new spending programs other than to raise the capital gains tax rate on the wealthy.
However, such a tax would raise IRS revenue by a piddling amount, EVEN IF one wants to make the idiotic assumption that the wealthy won't try to avoid the taxes.
Capital gains taxes are among the easiest to avoid, and more avoidance is what we'll get if we raise the cap gains tax rate

I was not aware of the AMC Entertainment acquisition. Hopefully that is a good indicator especially with the recent upswing in programming quality. I hope its not a flip instead I hope its more of a control issue ; )
