Valid success? What to look for.

The Republicans assert that the questioning of the success of the bankers is completely unwarranted. Well success comes primarily from innate skill and things that can be taught. Innate skill is hard to gauge, but usually you can see a range of success at a given task such as basketball among those who are not at the peak of innate ability. Such a range has not been observed and the instructional material has not been made available, so to those without an agenda it is obvious that the legitimacy of the success of the bankers is subject to question.

Banned from a forum unfairly?

Recently I received an infraction orht 10 points from city-data.com forums because they mistook me for someone they banned before, which is apparently itself a ban. I attempted to contact them twice at others@city-data.com and once at legal@city-data.com with no response. According to http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120107092100AAiJp7D I'm not alone in being mistreated by them. I recommend you not use them because of this. Does anyone out there have ay other forum websites they think people should avoid because of such mistreatment?

Take Capital Gains to 0? The same logic applied to other taxes.

Herman Cain said that we should take the  capital gains tax to zero because it is a barrier between those with money and those with ideas. Well how about the income tax? It's a barrier between those who want to work and those who want to provide jobs which is an amalgamation of the idea and money people. What about the sales tax? It is a barrier between those who have money to buy a product, the sole reason for a product to exist in the first place, and the people with ideas, and workers. Clearly this is the most heinous of all the taxes, since it taxes the raison d'être of products.

Perhaps the fairest of taxes is the property tax, but that is a barrier to right to property. But perhaps raison d'être trumps rights?
