What foolishness. you are rationalizing lower taxes on capital gains because you want government to reward risk, in other words indemnify us from it. This is the exact opposite of what you folks traditionaly claim. Sucessfuly risking and winning is its own reward. do I get to declare my winnings at the crap table as capital gains?

Beyond even that, some people's jobs are extremly risky yet they pay the same as everyone else in taxes. The argument is the same as always, we should treat the rich differently than everyone else because they are "special" they are virtuous, they are more honorable and more productive than the rest of us.

... and you are promoting the idea that it is all the government's, to begin with... they only let us keep some.

More importantly, how many middle class people's livliehoods are dependent on the boating industry and private jet industry? From sales to all aspects of the manufacturing process, suppliers to those manufacturers, not to mention all the people involved in the aftermarket business that caters to owners of these products.

Ask them if they think it will help or harm them. Some of them might not be union, so fuck them right? We only give assistance to union folk that fill our Democratic coffers. That about right?

Hypocrite.

No.

Hypocritical would be bitching about the auto bailout and clean energy subsidies and then championing subsidies for yacht builders and private jet makers.
