"Cutting the ground from under speculators" is a feeble and pointless attempt by weak politicians to distract voters from the reality.

Texas is full of politicians pushing these anti-investor measures.

There will always be a way to get around what the politicians do as long as you can be creative and have a good team to make sure what your doing is still legal.To me, that's not the point here.

we have all seen that the USA economy has affected worldwide stock markets.I have been reading books on economics lately, not just USA but Africa and international. one of the books (incidently that Obama has read) discusses the future economics of our world based on the thesis that the rest of the world will have a higher standard of living in the future, and what this means for America is that rather than being the sole superpower that America will have to learn to get along with other rising economies in the future.the most important point I have come across so far, is that what we need is more entrepreneurs not more welfare, not just in the USA, but in economies in general, including Africa and everywhere else. aid is good for temporary but not permanently.politics have their role in regulating but they are not business entrepreneurs (excepting a rare few). so I thought I would throw this out there, for those who may be thinking 20-30 years down the road, and what will be the next step long after our current situations have been taken care of and our current politicians are no longer in office etc.

Anymore, as soon as I hear a politician or a preacher throwing boulders, I figure their glass house is about to shatter.

Wow a politician cheating on his wife HOW SHOCKING :wowo:

I've read reports on politicians discussing a 15k tax credit that would be for all homebuyers, not just 1st time home buyers and also raising the limit or possibly removing a limit on household income.

Why does every politician think that the solution to every problem is throw more money at it?

Tabulate every politician's record.

Agreed with Tim...While there's not much that politicians could do that would surprise me these days, this is one of those things that even the average lazy American would get off his sofa to complain about.If there's any proof that this has happened (other than a random Internet forum post), I'm open to it...but it doesn't pass the evidence test nor the common sense test.
