Does anyone want to guess what happens when you increas capital gains taxes to 30%?
How about you tell us? And when you do, please cite some sources, especially ones that are more than anecdote and opinion, and have actual data behind them.

I already asked, but it's only "left-wing" ideas that get source-trolled on this forum. Anything conservative is assumed by default to be right.
I can't agree with that. =/
Either that or you visit an entirely different subsection of threads than I do!
Didn't Obama promise an end to politics as usual?
And the President has complete control over all of Congress and the Senate, naturally.
It takes two to play that game. I am not a fan of our current President in a lot of regards, but one thing you have to give to give him is that he isn't stamping his foot and tantruming "no" to everything that resembles a compromise. Perhaps the only saving grace of our current "democrats" is that they are not our current "republicans."
Perhaps Obama should have thought about that before making promises that he couldn't keep.
The Republicans have also offered compromises that the Democrats shot down. You just don't hear about those in the liberal mainstream media.
Yeah, the Republicans are claiming the billions in revenue to be meaningless, forgetting about their rants regarding the so-called epic significance of the millions going to Planned Parenthood.Hmmm. Republicans and Democrats alike are making an epic spectacle out of a fight over a bill that would do almost nothing. Didn't Obama promise an end to politics as usual?
Give me some good examples of this. By good I mean not totally lopsided compromises that really arent compromises.

Then why did they empasize the size of the expense while ranting on the floors of the House and Senate?They want to defund PP because of abortions and because federal funding of private orgs is unconstitutional, not because of any budgetary concerns.

At what point did the Republicans offer a "compromise" that did not require a complete capitulation by the Democrats?
Federal funding for abortion has been illegal since 1976 (Hyde Amendment).
Also, of course it isn't unconstitutional.
How do you think the government buys anything?
Do you believe that all NGOs in Iraq as well as private security firms in Iraq and Afghanistain is unconstitutional too ?
Do you believe that subsidies given to private oil companies and corporations is unconstitutional too ?
Congress has the ability to distribute government revenue. I don't feel like tracking down the exact section but surely one as intimately associated with the Constitution as yourself can find the section I am refering to.Please cite the part of the Constitution that empowers Congress to donate money to charity.
