What to believe?

The average person doesn't know what to believe or who to believe. For example, I watch business programs
on television and they all tell me that the economy is weak but
growing. Other people listen to democrat party politicians who say we
are in a recession. This is the same thing that happened in the 2000
election cycle. Democrat party politicians convinced people that the
economy was doing poorly to help get Al Gore elected, when in fact the
economy was growing quite well.


The same thing happens with taxes. Obama wants to raise taxes on capital
gains and dividends to 25%. He has no understanding that it will slow
up the economy and maybe throw it into a recession. Hillary wants to
raise capital gains to 25% and in a bizarre opinion thinks that
dividend taxes should be at, I think it is, 39.6% Talk aboutdestroying
the economy. What is it with these politicians. Can they really be that
stupid? Are they just pandering to a certain constituency? What gives?
