President Obama and
the Coming Stock Market Crash

How destructive to the U.S. economy would a Barack Obama presidency be?

An exclusive Newsmax analysis warns: There could be a very rough time ahead.

https://www.newsmaxstore.com/nm_mag/j... target="_blank">Beneath Obama's flowery rhetoric lies a dangerous economic plan that will wreak havoc on the American economy.

Obama plans to return to the failed policies of high taxation coupled with an expansion of government spending.

Worse, Obama says he is absolutely committed to almost doubling the capital gains rate — something he will easily accomplish with a Democrat Congress.

In the coming months — when investors realize that Obama will raise the cap gains rate — there could be a stampede of asset sales as investors rush to take their profits now to avoid Obama's doubling of the tax rates next year.

All of these issues and more are explored in Newsmax magazine's special report "Obamanomics — the Coming Tax-and-Spend Nightmare," by Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund.

This Newsmax magazine special report gives Americans the first in-depth look at the Democratic presidential candidate's likely strategies — and how they will affect not just the larger economy, but your personal wealth as well.

Indeed, Obama makes no bones about his plans to go on a tax rampage. Not only would he increase the capital-gains tax rate from 15 percent to as much as 28 percent, he wants to allow the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts to expire in 2010, which effectively raises taxes on Americans by tens of billions of dollars.

He also wants to do away with the $102,000 FICA payroll tax cap, which means anyone making over $102,000 would pay an additional 7 percent in taxes on earned income.

And the loan dividend tax rate George Bush implemented? Under President Obama it will be DOA!

If you are concerned about your wealth and family's financial well-being — and that the American economy remains strong — you must read this special report and share it with friends and family.

What about the Constitution Party?  Has anyone looked into that?  Chuck Baldwin is runing for President and Ron Paul isn't completely out of the picture yet.  Obama and Mccain are bent on destroying our sovreignty.  Who says we have to vote for them?

Can any third party muster up 35-40 million votes?

In my opinion, not a chance.  Anyway is 40 million even enough?

Plus I believe that if (Oba ham a) becomes President we will be hit by terrorists with emphasis on bankrupting us.  They know (Oba ham a) won't do / can't do anything.

A third party doesn't need to campaign or do well nationwide.  If he wins a key state or two, he can throw the electoral college into a situation where pledged delegates have to change their votes to elect a president.  That is unlikely, but much more likely than expecting a 3rd arty candidate to win outright.  That will never happen and we all know it whether we want to accept it or not.

About the only thing a person can do is thwart people away from BO by passing information on as is given in the Newsmax article and other articles stating his economic intentions.

You can always pretty much convince someone when it comes to their pocketbook--at least try.

Super Patriot, :)

You've again hit the BULLSEYE! :) When  we get hit......during Obama's socialist administration..what will Mr.Socialist do? Well, let's take a look.

Obama will do the following.

1. Negotiations with Bin Laden (weak!)

2. Consult with the U.N. for tough sanctions. (Even weaker!! Duh!) That will not work. Do what Bush did---ATTACK!!

3. Nothing. Look at the top 2.

Obama and the Liberals will do absolutely nothing. If 9-11 would of occured during Algore's time-if he was prez, we would be doing Islam by now. Thankfully, we got GW Bush. He did the right thing by attacking back.

The Obama-Rezko Connection and the Opportunities Before Reporters
Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 5:24 PM
Detailed here by the Chicago Tribune.
f,0,455810.flash>
Keep up on all the latest about Tony and Barack via Rezkorama.com.
Speaking of the Chicago Tribune, its parent company --and the parent of the
Los Angeles Times and many other papers-- held a conference call today.
Some key excerpts:
Tribune Co. officials think the media concern "could take about 500
pages out of our newspapers every week," company-wide, by reducing the
proportion of editorial content to advertising to a 50-50 level, Chief
Operating Officer Randy Michaels told the Chicago company's creditors
Thursday....
The recently installed COO also disclosed that Tribune officials
have been examining the productivity of individual reporters at the
company's newspapers, and have observed a significant discrepancy between
the output of individual reporters.
In addition, he said, the productivity of the reporting staffs at
Tribune's smaller dailies is much higher -- in terms of sheer output -- than
at larger papers such as the company's big Los Angeles Times paper.
The implication of that difference in output, as measured by story
production is that "We can eliminate a fair amount of people, while
eliminating not much copy," he observed. Michaels didn't offer any details.
If I were a reporter at the Chicago Tribune, I'd be digging, digging,
digging into Tony-Barack and the ties that bind Ayers, Dohrn, Phleger, Rezko
and Wright, making myself a fountain of stories and thus making myself less
likely to feel the ax when it falls.
Suggestion: Note how we are posting the letters of Jeremiah Wright published
in the Trinity Church bulletin? We aren't cherry-picking, just putting up
all of them we can find in the order they appeared to give readers a sense
of what was going on inside of trinity. A reporter might usefully inquire
when exactly Senator Obama crossed the church's threshold and held that
week's bulletin. They might also wonder if these letters throw light on
Obama's argument that the Jeremiah Wright of the National Press Club was a
Jeremiah Wright he didn't know.
But if such reporters existed, I suppose, the Chicago Tribune and Los
Angeles Times wouldn't be in such desperate straights to begin with.
