Of course, Hollande was an extreme scenario but it just goes to show the impact of legislation on business planning. Obviously small gains in the rate will not completely kill investment holding all the other factors constant but with the expected drop in growth for next year, the implementation of the ACA and the continuous mess in Europe (including France's crash next year, you heard it here first), there is a good chance that the well to do are holding on to their cash until the mess clears up and foregoing income to avoid taxes. As soon as the economy hits rock bottom, they'll do what they do best and purchase assets at rock bottom. A plan to help the middle and poor classes will effectively help the rich much more. Welcome to the progressive left.

One is good at soccer, the other will get you some coke

I already started because I'm writing CAIA L II in March so I need get a head start.

Yes, rounded up to the next hour

CFA method of interrogation. Read to the victim the code of ethics over and over and over.

Those were Colombian.

I can get you a Brazilian and an Argentinian for about 150 EUR an hour, and given the current mess, that's chump change

Right before Hollande was elected in France (about two weeks before the election), some high wealth from France were already putting their money in lower taxed countries in anticipation of this event. I know this because I have some relatives who do this for a living. That kind of work takes time and costs money as well so if it's done, chances are they won't come back.

It's 1:47 PM and I still haven't had my third coffee.

I meant where he said that the ethnic vote cost them the election, not agreeing on his assessment of Ryan.

Careful, you might get some warning points.

What is a sir charge?

I love how he quoted a Canadian. I actually agree with him on that point but Chris Matthews is a parody of himself.

I was kidding by the way. Very few people I dislike. Annoyed by, maybe but it takes a lot for me to dislike someone. But yes, I agree.

I don't believe a display name change is considered an alias though I did change my name from meazza1981 to meazza and I'm quite certain that threw some people off.

No one is talking about you. There are quite a few users here who have multiple aliases. Duck_dodgers/Dave In Norfolk/Park would be one of them.

The consensus seems that PPP is a "right wing circle jerk". I admit the amount of right leaning posters is higher, that is without a doubt but if someone really feels as if this part of the site is intolerable, why do they feel the need to post here? That being said, the lefties are much more intolerable. Even if you share the same political beliefs as DIN or conner, you can't really be as dumb as to actually agree with his relevant points.

I don't like the guy but he has a point.

Your point?

But he did. In fact he did for 20 years if I recall.

His campaign didn't portray him. The media was much better at doing that. How many independents are there?

Romney won +5 independents. His own base didn't show up.

Yep. Education is the key. A friend of mine once helped out a poor man by giving him $20 to buy food. Instead of perhaps buying a peanut butter jar, some bread and water, he went and bought Mcdonalds. Effectively he could have eaten well for a week but instead chose to eat **** once.

I spent two weeks in Spain this summer and I regularly visit Europe. Generally speaking, at 6 feet 210 20% Body fat, I'm considered obese in comparison to what I saw and I will say that those mother!@#$ers eat a lot. Tell them you're cutting carbs and they'll think you're an alien.

Then explain to me why other nations who have access to the same food aren't nearly as bad in terms of weight/obesity epidemics. Canada is America junior as a market and yet I don't see the same amount of fat asses I saw when visited several cities in the states. Stats aren't nearly as bad as well.
