The capital gains tax is a perverse form of double taxation that should be abolished. This bad tax is especially damaging because families often are taxed on gains that are solely the result of inflation. This video explains how taxpayers could be protected by indexing the capital gains tax so the levy only applies to inflation-adjusted gains.

my reply to a Dallas Tea Party email copied below:
While you're pressuring Hunt to change her vote, I suggest you also pressure the other seven tax-hike supporters to change their votes.
"The memo was sent from District 14 councilwoman Angela Hunt's office, who was in agreement with colleagues Delia Jasso, Vonciel Jones Hill, Carolyn Davis, Tennell Atkins, Dwaine Caraway, Steve Salazar and Pauline Medrano."

Subject: Petition Dallas City Council to vote Against Tax Increases
Angela Hunt and the Dallas City Council wish to sock Dallas residents with the largest tax increase in 20 years.You can Reach Angela Hunt at 214-670-5415 or at or angela.hunt@dallascityhall.com.
Angela Hunt is the swing vote on the Council. She currently favors tax increases.
We wonder: Is ANGELA HUNT THE NANCY PELOSI OF DALLAS, indifferent to the plight of Dallas taxpayers in a worsening recession?
On Wednesday, September 22, the Dallas City Council will vote on tax hikes for Dallas property owners.

* During the last election, voters seemed to believe electing even a half-wit would be an improvement. And Barack Obama is no half-wit. He has all his wits about him. Trouble is, he was also the candidate of choice for those who prefer handouts. And his election marks a major milestone; the “takers” now control the White House and Congress. They control America.
*Obama won 28 states. John McCain won 22. The Obama states are full of debt – with an average per-capita state debt of $1,728. The McCain states are relatively solvent, with an average per- capita debt of only $749.
*In the states that went most heavily for Obama – Hawaii, Vermont, New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Maryland – the average state debt per capita was even higher, at $4,606.
