Ponderer - you have a problem with Tea Pariters I take it...

I am a multi-millionaire. Not bragging, just setting the stage. I am a very successful attorney (successful in the professional sense, not monetarily as I have alrady covered that). I live in a a state not on your list. I live in a state that has weathered the financial turmoil better than any other. I am highly educated. I went to high school at one of the top prep schools in the country. I went to undergrad at Columbia, and I have an MBA and a JD from Harvard.

I am a Tea Partier. There is simply one tenet of the Tea Party movement - fiscal responsibility. I abide by it in my personal life, and I expect my country to abide by it too.

You equate the Tea Party movement to the social welfare states. That may be true. However, I would argue that the welfare RECIPIENTS are liberals. The fact that there are so many of them in those states have driven the fiscally responsible to the Tea Party movement.

You cannot argue the premise of the Tea Party movment, you can only make vague inferences. Grow up child.

I am an attorney who specializes in energy trading regulation. I have prepared many arguments with my industry counterparts and lobbyist consulting firms argued in front of the CFTC. I have insight into both the political drivers, the stated benefits, and the actual costs.

I am also a Republican. I am also a Tea Party supporter.

Regulation can put a choke hold on capital innovation. Dodd-Frank as it is written will limit liquidity in many commodity markets. Financial oversight will make speculation risky - and in a bad way. Speculation is inherently risky, however the risks are market risks, which spur innovation and advancement. The risks will now be regulatory risks, which limit innovation and enhancement.

Regulation may be socially beneficial, but it is financially bad. Partial regulation is horrendous. The financial crisis of 2008 is squarely on the shoulders of short-sighted and vote-seeking Democrats looking to ensure unwarranted loans were provided to their constituents who could not afford them.

Please quit mis-characterizing Republicans and Tea Party supporters. Control spending, then we will talk about tax policy.

qzjul - i think you are a bit full of yourself if you think politicians do not understand CGT. Conservatives do not want NO TAXES. We want no NEW taxes, lower EXISTING taxes, and make EVERYONE pay their fare share.

"Idiotic"
"Inbreeding"

No wonder I do not fit in with this group. No wonder someone such as Loughner does. No wonder I am a threat to you, so you must lash out. No wonder that warms my heart to know.

PoD - well played. You still lag behind niceuys in total and average NW. But, you sure are awesome at this game. I look forward to your instructional videos and will applaud with great enthusiasm during your awards acceptance speech.

Wait a second. You are trash talking about an internet game...I forgot how little that matters to me. If you'c are to trash talk about our real lives I will joyously trade barbs with you as I believe my credentials will produce "a proper kill run".

Have fun playing the game.

NiceGuys was simply my clan tag with a couple of joiners. I had the top few spots for awhile, but was stocking NW and knew I would be easy pickings for anyone wanting to make a run at it.

I agree that PoD was unnecesasrily hit, and he did an excellent job of taking down top man and carving the rest of us up a good bit. The war won't be messy as PoD is better prepped and can keep us under his thumb as long as he wants.

I haven't seen either of those in years, so I am not qualified to answer.

Google or Bing?
