Taxing investment even more, is a sure fire way to remove one of the reasons to invest your money.
Why would you be in favor of handing a bunch of crooks in Washington D.C. even MORE money while making it less attractive for investment?
Remember...Washington is spending 10 billion dollars a day!!!! They spend all of Mitt Romney's entire worth in about 29 minutes. They spend all of Warren Buffets entire worth in less than 4 days.
They don't need more money. They need to stop spending so much.

We need to lower spending and raise revenue. They do need more money unless we want to carry the debt forever.
We need to drive over the fiscal cliff. If we keep putting it off another year then nothing will ever change.
We are really fucked up financially. There has to be pain. Spending has to be cut and revenue needs to be raised.
