I really just have one question for you.
As a Wall Street power-player, how do you see capital gains savings on long-term Bonds as such a relevant example of capital gains tax savings?
Is there not a strong correlation between time and earnings for capital gains taxes?
Do you not think that bonds, regardless of the amount, are relatively low earning over a longer time span?
You are the only person I have ever come across that feels strongly about this issue. For most bonds are so irrelevant compared with other investments because the earning potential is so low over time that the tax is minimal.
I am just curious, from your own opinion and perspective, why you feel this single item is such an important example of capital gains tax savings.
And yes, I still think a debate would be great. I would like to do this.
I also don't see a problem with posting deposit receipts for stocks or whatever, just black out the account information. I will get mine posted later tonight and tomorrow because I need to go pick up some of my receipts.
EDIT
I think I see where you are coming from and I do believe that as a whole you are correct on Wall Street support for Bush on the corporate level. In funding Bush wins 2 to 1. However, individually, in overall numbers, we are looking at a whole different story. This is in fact 6 to 1 in favor of Kerry. But on the corporate level, and pure corporate endorsements and cash, Bush would be the clear winner.
