That's true. I mean in America when you go to the hospital, they make you better then give you a bill. In Europe, they don't bother making you better, and instead of sending you a bill they just take 50% of your paycheck.

Nope, as we've been over here many times European health outcomes compare to US health outcomes just fine and at a fraction of the cost.

Anyone who is actually serious about budget reform would be seriously looking at the incredibly obvious step of a single payer health care system. It's a tried and true, effective method that would likely save us hundreds of billions a year.

EDIT: The real thing here is that people don't want to admit how much it would help to balance the budget because OMG SOCIALISM.

Quit embarrassing yourself- It's quite clear that you were the ignorant party, and your most recent post simply reinforces what I said about your being too greedy to let options ride long enough to get the LTCG rates, if you even knew they existed, or actually ever received any options.

Showing your ignorance again. Let's take an option price of 50 and 1000 shares. Current price is 80. Now I could take 50K cash and buy all 1000 shares and have them be worth 80k, no taxes, hold a year and it's LTCG.

Now that's taking 50k cash and putting it all into one stock, a little risky. So how about cash out the difference? That would be a difference of 30, 1000 shares to you get 30K cash - taxed as normal income, STCG. That's what a lot of people do.

Last time I did a sell to cover which cashes out a percentage of options and that cash is used to purchase at option price of 50. That's still normal income, STCG but I don't have any cash out pocket and am holding a good chunk of stock to hold on for a long time.

So the ONLY way you can get LTCG on options is to fork over the cash and hold them for a year. Pretty risky since it's a single stock.

Republicans are for deficit spending if it's a Republican in the White House.

He's for deficit spending no matter who is in the White House.

You are one hateful person. Are you roommates with umbrella?

I guess you haven't seen the rest of spideys posts?
"It is you dumbfuck. Since you don't know the difference, you're still a dumbfuck. Fucking communist."

That's from earlier in the thread. I take it you are somewhat capable of reading? Thats post 135 if you have trouble finding it. You might need to go back a few pages, I'm sure you can figure it out.

If I wrote a paper in college based on bad numbers I would get a bad grade right?
