10 Points About the Markets

Yup, waf and Chubbs are dead-on, the remaining shards of a once great party consist mostly of angry and delusional whites with a very odd sense of priorities and a completely warped idea of what's fair.

My 15-year-old daughter came home from school yesterday and reported that one of her classmates came in with a big chip on her shoulder after Obama's big night Tuesday. The problem? "Barack wants to tax the upper class." Huh? (BTW this girl's mom is a school teacher and her dad works for the state DOT as a midlevel engineer. I seriously doubt they earn anywhere near the $250K level that Faux Plumber Joe is incensed about.) How is this even an issue???

Irrational, manufactured outrage over a non-existent issue for 90%+ of Americans shows how lost the red party is. I also fail to see how increasing the tax rate on the upper 5-10% income bracket is the least bit un-American. What a bunch of spoiled, ridiculous whiners.

Get over it--Bush has trashed this economy for 8 years and we'll be spending the next quarter century trying to undo all the damage. The Republican party's turned into one very tired Limbaugh rant that no reasonable citizen is paying the least bit of attention to. The dour, sourpuss expression on the faces of many in the crowd at McCain's concession speech said it all. Time to move on.
