Correct me if I'm wrong, but most rich folks make their money from investments, right? And most money from investments is in the form of capital gains, which is taxed at 17%. I'm pretty sure that capital gains are not taxed as income, thus escaping the 35% taxation level that "wealthy" people who are paid to do a job get taxed at, not to mention payroll taxation and social security taxation.
So rather than bitching and moaning because the bottom-most of the upper five percent are getting a bit of a tax raise on their income, Republicans should hope that nobody starts paying too close of attention to the disparity in taxation that the top 1% (who have over 75% of the money in this country) pay.
Hopefully, we'll pay attention to that lack soon. The whole "people wont invest if they have it 'taxed away'" thing is pure-D bullshit. Just because you only took home $40 million instead of $60, doesnt mean you'll stop investing. It just means the good old days of making a serious killing are behind us.

And they are anyway.

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav
