(30 posts)Its pretty obvious that he was in fact, paid to kill jobs.
And most of the companies he found were shams run on cheap labor, cheep Chinese goods, and junk loans.
Romney is a sham and electing him will be Nixon's lost second term.

(3,576 posts)but stop and think, most 401k retirement plans for average American workers (the 99%) are made up of stock, and mutual fund investments. These investments are risky, think of the recent recession and the dramatic dump the stock market took. Many, many retirement accounts were severely diminished. Should we raise the long term (owned for more than 1 year) capital gains rate to say 35% just because it seems that very rich people are paying too little (because most of their wealth is held in equity investments)? For the average American worker with a 401k it would be disastrous. Possibly the tax code needs to be amended to tax long term capital gains over a threshold, say $250,000 in any given year, at 35%. Even Rachel is not above hasty generalities.
