The engine of job and wealth growth in our economy is the small business to the small corporation to the successful growth of those. The products, ideas, and business models that generate wealth and hiring.

If you strongly increase the capital gains tax rate, what you are doing is seriously tinkering with the most sensitive part of our economy. Big corporations are NOT net creators of jobs. Nor is government, but I’m sure Obonga and the Jackasses will try to divert money from DoD to his new “community organizer” corps. Only idiots think that one will have a bright future taking that kind of job.

If we do not increase the supply of energy for the intermediate term, the long term becomes a long shot. Kill the economy, how are you going to have the money to nurture those technological magic bullets the Jackasses talk about?
