I've put up a lot of advice and corrected a lot of wrongs, and I must say that what you've put up makes utter sense. Please persist in the good work - the more individuals know the better they'll be equipped to deal with the tax man, and that's what it's all about.

If the capital gains tax is not indexed for inflation, people may pay the capital gains tax when they have actually lost money because of inflation. If the federal government is serious about growing the economy and creating jobs, it should stop taxing capital gains, interest from savings accounts, and dividends. Businesses will have an easier time obtaining loans and investments for hiring workers, training workers, research and development, and plant and equipment. People will have an easier time saving for college tuitions and retirements. If Congress had learned from the Savings and Loans Crisis, the mortgage mess might not have happened. Congress should have required down payments on homes and fixed rate mortgages. The sooner Congress requires down payments on homes and fixed rate mortgages the better. The federal government should sell a lot of the land that it owns to raise capital, reduce the national debt, help fund Social Security and Medicare, help fund passenger rail, help fund buses within cities, help fund buses between cities, help fund energy transmission, help fund energy development, and do other things. Some of the money the federal government obtains from the sale of the lands should go to State governments. Congress should seriously consider allowing casinos and hotels especially hotels for the wealthy to be built in many national parks. The federal government could obtain property taxes from these casinos and hotels, a percent of sales from these casinos and hotels, and a 5 percent rooms and meals tax from these casinos and hotels. State governments should obtain some of the money the federal governmentm obtains from these casinos and hotels. Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution says Congress has the power "To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures" Congress should consider backing our currency with gold, silver, and other commodities. Congress should eliminate the Federal Reserve or veto many of its decisions. If the Federal Reserve continues to exist, two members of the United States House of Representatives and 2 United States Senators should sit on the board of the Federal Reserve. If 3 of these members of Congress wants a Federal Reserve decision to be vetoed, it should be vetoed. A Federal Reserve decision should also be vetoed when a majority of the United States House of Representatives wants the decision to be vetoed. A Federal Reserve decision should also be vetoed when a majority of the United States Senate wants the decision to be vetoed. I ran for United States Senate from New Hampshire in 2002.

The first is to continue to bail out banks, in which I think our economy will slowly fail into a Great Depression situation. The second is to start to working towards helping families stay in homes. Extend the low interest rates of these 3-5 year ARMS or extend the loans to 40 and 50 year fixed mortgages. I have begun to hear about more and more friends, neighbors, and relatives who made poor decisions with their home purchase and are now upside down in loans. Until people can afford those homes every month again, you will not see a change in this economy. Enjoy the blog... I think the future holds two paths right now.
