and every working class Democrat needs to take notice. If you have stock from your company and you sell it, you have a paper gain that is now taxed at 15%. Did you earn that paper gain? No, but if you're trying to pay medical bills with it or keep your house from being foreclosed on, you need that 15%.

The capital gains tax hits working class Americans hard. The answer is to cut the capital gains tax, not raise it and punish working people trying to make ends meet. Anyone that is gainfully employed and has any stock in their company cannot argue with this. Anyone else,.. well consider the source.

Want to pay the government more? Nominate and elect Obama. Obama shows just how clueless he is about the middle class. Will Hillary cut the capital gains tax? I don't know, but I sure as hell hope so.

If you're a working class stiff and you get screwed for 15% on a paper gain on your stock you cashed in and you don't like it, don't let it get to you that the fools here at DU call you a DLC'er. They don't know WTF they're talking about and most never had a real job anyway. Maybe it's daddy's money or something they live off of. The DLC may look out for those that make good money, but a lot of us get carried along for the ride too. All working people win when capital gains tax gets cut.
