If they think raising the capital gains tax is the answer they are so far from reality. Many of those affected will be the retirees wanting to downsize. This will only create another generation standing in the welfare line.! IMHO.

The majorty of this country needs a budget 101 class to teach them how to stay out of debt and learn to live without all the extras. We need to teach our children how to live in a cash world again. Credit has destroyed this country!
