Last thing I want is to see the taxes on my investments go up to 40%, which is the stupid Obama plan, as that will take out the middle class, as everyone will lose 40% of their IRA, 401k or pension.... all of which is money invested one way or another.

The democrooks call it a tax on the rich, but in reality, it will be a HUGE tax on the middle class, as the majority of investment $$ out there is everyone's 401k, IRA and/or pension... which the last time I looked, was not the rich, but the working class.

my parents never invested anything (all their money in savings or cd's so that the bank made $$ of theirs and they actually lost due to inflation over time), nor taught me anything about it either. I made more the first 12 months than they did in their life, in their bank accounts and they never made much working either, as they were both teachers. I want my $$ making more for me, not someone else.

I work hard, pay high income taxes now- have a business that provides jobs for numerous people- and in the event I have a few bucks at the end of the day to invest, somebody wants to take 40% of what I earn on that? God forbid I may one day manage to get past all of that and leave it to my family because they'll take over half of that when I die.
