No, I'm simply saying the climate used to be such that people in the US saw fixed income investments earn money, stocks go up and real estate increase in value and now none of that is happening. Bring back that climate and I'll happily go back to paying taxes.

By happily, do you mean like the way I go for the 5 year colonoscopy? Or do you know something that I don't?

Sorry, maybe you have taxable income. We used to but don't right now. I don't know what it has to do with colonoscopy, of which I've had plenty.

I am sorry that you don't have a taxable income right now. I assume that you don't make enough to owe taxes? I have always worked hard for my money as I am sure you always have. I have never happily paid taxes and I doubt that you have either. Paying taxes makes me about as happy as having a colonoscopy. Why would it make us happy to have someone taking our hard earned money to do what they choose with it, up to and including something that is against our beliefs? Oh, on second thought, I'll take the colonoscopy if given the choice!...Even more seriously-I hope and pray that you will find a more substantial income very soon!

No, clearly it's a third party. These problems can't be solved by any of the current parties or splinter groups--Republicans, Democrats or Tea Party. I just don't know when that will happen. I do have the confidence that Americans won't put up with this for too much longer.

CLEARLY, a third party wil result in 4 more years of Obama.

VK, I know that you are not an idiot so what is your motivation?

Thank you for being so brief.

How about getting something rolling like Clinton's fortuitous "Dot Com Boom" to spur the economy. I don't know what new craze is in the wind that will do it this time, but I'm sure you have the answer.
