Capital Gains Tax, Hedge Funds, and Opting out of Social Security

Even if you don't have a reservoir of capital or even a good job, a cut in the capital gains tax would help you.

If the capital gains tax were cut, companies would expand (spend money) and hire.  Think back to your old economics lecture on the Multiplier.

Sweden has a low capital gains tax rate.  I thought we were supposed to admire the Europeans?

Ignore the phony conservatives and phony libertarians who frown on activism.  You have the right to lobby the government for whatever you want.  Don't worry about what "they" say.

Sure, it will take more than cutting the capital gains tax, allowing all citizens to invest in hedge funds, and allowing us to opt out of social security to escape the rat race.  But it is a good start.  Many gurus are way too chicken to debate on this.

People who think win/win are asking for a cut in the capital gains tax.

Again, don't worry about the "they".  The "they" have either been in charge of Oregon for the last 30 years or have done little to resist the "they".  Don't wait on RINO's or LINO's.  Stand up for yourself.
