Russia apparently understand tax policy better than the folks in charge of U.S. tax policy. Not only does Russia have a 13 percent flat tax, but the government has just announced it will eliminate the capital gains tax.Russia will scrap capital gains tax on long-term direct investment from 2011, President Dmitry Medvedev has said. …Mr Medvedev told the St Petersburg International Economic Forum that long-term direct investment was “necessary for modernization”. …Its oil revenues fund, which has been financing the deficit, is expected to end next year, and the government wants to attract more foreign investment to boost the economy.
Meanwhile, what are the financial wizards in Washington talking a bout.....................CAP & TRADE!

I never thought I'd see the day when Russia was more capitalistic than the United States of America.
The progressives should be very proud.
Russia "wants to attract more foreign investment to boost the economy" and now China may surpass the US in industrial production.
How can Americans sit by and watch this happen? Well actually, there are Americans and then there are amerikans. That's how!
