[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]Is it OK for Sandy base her vote on something other than her own, near term financial situation?  I know that's crazy talk to some folks (Mitt?) but it's how a lot of us vote. [/b]

If you're loaded (yes, $500k through your own hard work is loaded, even in Washington) then any of the Republican candidates is more favorable to your long term financial situation than any Democrat. The GOP's big achievement over the next decade will be to redefine income to exclude inheritance, dividends and capital gains. This will be huge for families that have accumulated a lot of wealth.[/quote]

That is a very good question.  I think that Americans on a whole tend to think too short/near term, which is probably why so many people are unhappy with Obama.   For example, Sandy is so focused on the short term implications of a lower tax rate instead of the long term implications of a lot of the GOP social policies.    Not to mention that a lot of the promises that are being made re taxes may not work out in reality.  [/quote]
