I just want to take a quick poll...

You guys are the biggest pessimists in the entire world. It seems like you're already blaming Obama for what has been happening over the past 6 months or year or whatever. I think it's going to keep getting worse for another couple years, no matter who is in office.

He is going to be an easy scapegoat for sure, which I think is dumb. He came into office at the worst time, but I'm hoping he can turn things around. Why can't we wait and see before being so negative?

And if any of you is making more than $200k/year salary after deductions, I think you shouldn't be complaining about having another couple percent income tax, that's a lot of money. Also I'm glad capital gains taxes are going up, that's how the rich make their money anyway, not through regular income.
