What would the Republicans allow us to pass if we gave them tax-free capital gains? |
|
You'd think we could trade that one off for just about anything we wanted.

4. This is a joke, right? |
|
They'd advance to cover the ground they just won from us and demand yet another concession.

Not even a "thank you". They would say "about time" and follow that up with "abolish income taxes entirely". You know it.

7. WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE IT WOULDN'T BE WORTH IT! |

Besides, I think they are very happy with their policy of NO and won't budge on anything!

10. They'd give us nothing |
|
Aside from the fact that we couldn't possibly give them that, it wouldn't make one iota of difference in their behavior.

11. When Bush the First was running for Pres, one of his main speaking points was this: |
|
He spoke strongly against people who burned the US flag...
I would imagine 2 things would happen: The capital gains investors would be dancing in the streets, and the GOP would claim credit for it and condemn the Democrats for taxing the non-working hereditary rich. And people would believe them.

Messin' with the muni boy's turf. Like running water? Well do ya?
You came to the wrong town if you try selling that free stuff for free, ya know.
:sarcasm:
We don't mess with your taxes, you don't mess with our tax exempt.
And there's a couple of accountants waiting outside for ya.
And the lawyer's just pulled up.
You're gonna get somthin' alright.
