It is knowing that politicians are self-serving, ignorant, vain, and oh-so blameless (sarc) in the causes of recessions while almost all the public, which has been directed by the MSM to blame the free market, has an overwhelming expectation of governments around the world to manage their deteriorating economies out of this god-awful mess. <BR/><BR/>As to getting rid of capital-gains tax, it's a great idea. It makes good sense. However, while people see government as The Prime Giver, the response to that idea will be something along the lines of "Duhhh, the gumint can't afford it." or "What social services will government have to cut to pay for that!?" I don't know... Mr Good Sense must be feeling a little lonely these days.<BR/><BR/>Tony.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
