Elect a Prez, Lose Your Shirt

In the 12 trading days since Obama was elected the Dow has lost over 21%, the NASDAQ has lost 26% and the S&P 500 has lost 25%.  This is what happens when you elect someone who in a very bad economy pledges to:

  • raise business taxes
  • raise capital gains taxes
  • raise taxes on the wealthy
  • raise protectionist barriers
  • implement card check to enable coercive unionization
  • spend literally $2 trillion above the already bloated budget
