There will be lots of opportunity for moaning, groaning and posing, as political leaders plot to raise taxes as the fiscal cliff approaches. BofA-Merrill Lynch has put together a "Fiscal Cliff" calendar, somewhere along the calendar your taxes will be raised. Whether a deal is cut or we go over the cliff, keep in mind that it is all about higher taxes.
According to Ron Paul, we're already over the cliff and we're just wondering how we're going to land. I guess it's unseemly for a presidential candidate to express disdain for politics, but as a former candidate he's pretty well taken the gloves off. "A pure democracy is dangerous, the majority dictates against the minority", he says. "I don't have much confidence in the political system and never did." Good stuff.
