President Obama's New Years Eve Press conference

I will be taking a big hit....especially on capital gains taxes if they go to 20 percent. I have two properties up for sale right now which if I was to get lucky and I sold them at 20% reduction from the asking price......I will be looking at 15k more taxes just on the two properties which are for sale. If I cannot get the Bank to refinance next fall, I will be selling other properties....some which will bring very little liquid cash, but I will be paying significant capital gains. So, my family is facing significant tax increases whether I am alive or dead....the capital gains portion will be devastating on our bottom line........but if you ask me do I care.....not a bit.....not a bit.....those days are over......my greed and need to own or put more money in the bank are over.....even if I live three more years......I have found enlightenment....and I wish I found it 10 years ago......

You may live longer than that,Seaoat.They may announce a cure for cancer next week. You never know.

Justice......Congress is going to work on New Years Day......They deserve what they have sown.

No whining here, I am just calling em like I saw em.....the President just spiked the ball in order to not have Congress reach an Agreement.....it was obvious, and a half hour after I started this thread....John McCain took to the senate floor and said exactly what I have been saying.

Any money democrats save by cutting something they will turn around and spend on something else and then some, the budget will not come down, the spending will remain unchecked and out of control and what you will have left your grandchildren will be even a bigger mess.

I honestly believe if someone found a cure for cancer and it was just one pill you take just once, cured all forms of cancer, and prevented cancer from ever coming back it would never see the light of day. Hate to say it but there is way to much money to be lost if a cure for cancer ever was to come to fruition.

The senate has a bill for the House to take up today.......What justice to have them working while we get to watch football games. This is going to be better than a keystone cop silent movie.
