Ms Pelosi has condemned the record new high's in the American stockmmarket. She say's another example of how the Bush policies favor only the rich (pssss Nancy girl, 89% of Americans are invested 410k's etc..HELLO) With government revenues at a all time high our new Speaker say's that this is just business exploiting the war in Iraq. The Speaker elect say's that these windfall profits should be taxed at 100% to help the unemployed and minorities.
Ms Pelosi went on to say that "We need to to raise the standards of living of the poor, unemployed and minorities with these windfall profits.
Folks: This was not Carl Marx, this is the person who will lead our nation, the Speaker elect. NOW we know why they kept her hidden during the election. How many times must we re-learn the lessons of the past???????

Profits from the stock market are already taxed.
Nothing has ever been taxed at 100%
If you're going to make stuff up, try to make it believable.
You don't provide a link to show what she actually said.
The Speaker of the House is not a leader but an arbiter.
Liberal and socialist are not the same thing, though it would be good to see more socialist principles applied to future social policy.
I hope your head explodes!!!!!!

I think you need a few lessons from what you wrote above. Each of these could take a while to explain.
1. Even if 89% of people are invested in the stock market, they don't own 89% of the market.
2. 401ks are being popularized over pensions in this country. Better information should be available on life annuities and life insurance.
3. There is a working poor in America and a hand-out accepting poor in America. We should all be thinking about the unemployed and what policies would influence them to be employed.
4. Nancy Pelosi will get only one vote, just like any other member. The President's vote counts as much as all their votes together.
5. The government receives taxes from capital gains. Again how should it be spent?
And now a lesson for me... where does it say that Nancy Pelosi condemned the stock market highs? Did she instead state that the stock market reaching new highs does not mean prosperity for all Americans?

you assume the market to come back out of a finished melt-down and hit the best-ever record extreme, that replaced into carried out for the duration of a "bubble", in only 2 years? now unlikely. Republicans are not very good at economics... are you?

Ms. Pelosi refuses to comprehend that the poor, unemployed and (some) minorities are anxiously awaiting her free handouts. They will never be interested in bettering themselves so long as the Bleeding Heart Government continues to contribute to their "dilemna." God Bless the United States of America, our President and all of our military personall stationed around the World.

Wow...I guess the poor and minorities can't work for a living...at least according to Ms Pelosi. I guess all the hard work and sacrifice that I have put into being Active Duty Navy for 9 years, not seeing my wife that much, due to her working at night because we can't afford day care for our 2 sets of twins should be pushed aside to give the poor and minorities a free ride in life.
Man, I wish I could have a free ride...oh wait, I can...if the Democrats had their way.

You blew your entire credibility with that 89% of population is in the market. Grossly overstated.
When you couple record stock prices (Where, by the way? The indexes were higher before 9/11/01. The value of the money is less) with the widening gap of income & ownership between the rich & the poor, what is there not to understand.?

in the eyes of the libs, the stock market high is nothing more than excess profits that should have been taxed and given back to the nanny state. or else the proletariat would rebel against the bourgeouis or some bull carp like that. liberalism, as communism, are both mental disorders.

I watch the ticker every day as well as the price of oil...when oil goes up the market goes up with it because everyone has oil company shares and when oil is up, industries are booming...I think it is artificial to a large extent...when oil spiked a year ago, the market actually went with it...this is wierd.
No, you're taking her out of context...where's the link

Ms. Pelosi is a liberal(socialist). Her comments are not surprising.Don't try to understand why they can't get basic economics through their head, just try to get them out of power as quick as possible.
