You bet people at those income levels will change their spending habits. Most of them will in my opinion try to maintain their saving habits. They will pay the taxes by cutting back on their spending. I am already thinking of cutting back on my spending habits because the dems look so strong and I am not only worried about taxes, I am worried about being able to maintain my income level in a declining investment environment. |

As for the tech bubble, wait! I thought taxes hurt investment. How in the world did it cause over-investment? Takes hikes--> ____________--> Tech Bubble (tell your fantastic causal story) btw, tech bubble was Clinton's fault. It was because he de-regulated too much to maintain good relations with Wall Street. Ask his chief economist.

No new president is going to come in and make any major change in Iraq policy simply because there are no other options than staying this course, which appears to be working now. Oh, they'll lie and say they've made changes that have had positive effects, but the truth is they will make very little change. If Obama spends two years focusing on Iraq he will be wasting all of us a lot of time.

Here's a good summary from Romney's adviser on differences between L/R economists.

If we are not largely pulled out of Iraq in the next few years, that would be disappointing. Military troops engaged in active combat for a longer period of time than any of our previous involvements....except for Vietnam, of course...which irony does not escape me. Our presence there for the next 20 years and Colin Powell saying we own Iraq now is odd, given that we do not engage in nation building....
