Capital gains is only 15%, where the rich make their money, and assuming they keep it all in the US. While the poorer working classes must pay at least 33%.</SPAN></div>

<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">The reason I am not pleased with Obama is that he doing a poor job with the Department of State, the Department of Defense, the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Welfare, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Office of Civil Rights, and the IRS. They are, simply put, a complete mess. I cringe <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-0>every time</SPAN> I have to call or write any of these departments as I know I will be dealing with someone that probably struggled to get their GED. <SPAN id=misspell-0 class=mark>Obama's</SPAN> trains may be carrying the right domestic policies but don't run on time, and they frequently run into a ditch. The only ones that don't run into a ditch are the foreign polices which should. </SPAN></div>

<DIV><SPAN>A new <SPAN id=misspell-1 class=mark>Brookings</SPAN> Institution/Tax Policy Center study finds Mitt Romney's plan to overhaul the tax code would produce cuts for the richest 5% of Americans -- and larger bills for everybody else.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>The Washington Post notes the researchers seemed "to bend over backward to be fair to the Republican presidential candidate" but "none of it helped Romney."</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>"His rate-cutting plan for individuals would reduce tax collections by about $360 billion in 2015, the study says. To avoid increasing deficits -- as Romney has pledged -- the plan would have to generate an equivalent amount of revenue by slashing tax breaks for mortgage interest, employer-provided health care, education, medical expenses, state and local taxes, and child care -- all breaks that benefit the middle
class."</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>---------------</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR></DIV><SPAN class=yiv390880976Apple-style-span>The <SPAN id=misspell-2 class=mark>Brookings</SPAN> Institution/Tax Policy Center Study</SPAN>
