But at least they aren't fuggin mental. I'm crossing my fingers for Obama.

Maybe our media is biased.
But 15% Tax rate on interest and capital gains is a vulgar thing to brag about. The way to get the economy going is to invest in projects which allow the middle class to get richer, this will boost their spending, which in turn will help entreprenuers.
Ironically, our economy would get a huge boost if America's was to grow more quickly. So it really does matter to us.

The tax rates (including capital gains) are at their lowest rates since WW2. If lower tax rates really fueled job creation, we should be up to our collective asses in jobs. Greed always gets in the way. The separation of wealth between upper and middle classes in this country is the highest ever. That's not how to grow the economy.
