Default GOP liars are out in full force

I got a chain email stating that Obama would tax all home sales at 28%.

He has no business raising the capital gains tax to 20%. Pelagius I'm sure understands it much better than I, but there are plenty of journals supporting the capital gains rate at its current rate and many other countries also maintain a low capital gains rate.

Damn him for his short sightedness.

Warren Buffet has said hiking it to even 28% wouldn't affect investment decisions significantly. 20% ain't jack.

Buffett's an ass who likes to hear himself talk. He has so much wealth and diversity of investments, no matter what he does, he'll find a way to make money.

Not everything revolves around Buffett's mouth. 20 percent does make a difference and we add the slippery slope argument.

Archaea once said that he doesn't want to discuss taxes with neophytes.

I challenged his tax quals beyond simple estate planning and he was fairly silent.

At this point, discussing taxes with Archaea is like talking abstinence with UteStar.

Troll bait.

Is this because I dispute the usefulness of AMT?
