Since the media has decided that the election is a done deal, maybe smart investors are getting out of the markets now, before the capital gains tax goes through the roof. I know they'll have to get it through Congress, but when Clinton promised the middle class tax cut and then announced a week after his inauguration that he had "worked harder on this than on anything I have ever done in my life" and broke his campaign promise, they made the
TAX INCREASE retroactive to the beginning of the year. That was despite final passage not coming until August. Smart investors aren't going to be fooled again.
President Obama + Democrat controlled Congress = higher taxes for everyone. Count on it. However, it will be impossible to raise taxes enough to pay for the increases in entitlements that are already set to take place and pay for Obama's proposed
trillion dollars in new government handouts. If you wanna see inflation and recession, you ain't seen nothing yet. Just cast your vote for Barry or stay home and don't vote at all. But get ready to bend over and spread 'em, cause you're getting screwed and you won't be able to afford any lube.
