Newt Gingrich promises to build a moon colony by 2020; make it a U.S. state

who is gonna pay for all that shit?? & you can't make the Moon a State, like it's Puerto Rico or Guam

If he gets the nomination, he gets 43% of the popular vote.

I hope he gets it though, at least the campaign will be entertaining. It was shaping up to be the worst ever otherwise.

He's building up a pretty good roster of insane shit. I love that we are gonna slash taxes for rich people and make the moon the 51st state at the same time. That'll work out.

My personal favorite is still his idea to fire janitors at schools, and force children (students) to do the labor. It's an idea of evil genius. Even a Bond supervillian couldn't come up with some shit like that.

The evil rich people. We should seize all the wealth of those greedy bastards. They don't deserve nor did they earn all of their money.
Who cares.

Newt is just like JFK with all those crazy ideas. Moon landings

Yeah, because living on the moon is the same as landing there.

Neither will happen.

Sorry to burst your "hope bubble."

They earn some of their income but not much. The top 400 earners only earn about 8% of their taxable income. The rest is unearned income like capital gains, dividends, interest. etc. In 2008, 400 households collected 10% of the capital gains subject to preferential rates ($61,364,527,000). Now you know why Newt wants to cut the capital gains tax rate to zero.

Obama could sweep all 50 states! LOL

Not all 50 but he would definitely beat the tar out of the Newtster!

Let's not forget Newt will be protecting marriage from the insidious homosexual agenda. Like he says, marriage should be between a man and a woman and a woman.

Is Obama not going to campaign in the other 7 states?

That would be 10 states, not 7. He said he visited 57 with one more and he's not visiting Alaska or Hawaii.

capital gains tax SHOULD be zero, it's double taxation, you originally paid taxes on that money when you first earned it, now you invest it & have to pay taxes again, & it's not even indexed to inflation so you also pay tax on the inflation that happens while that money was invested so really it's like triple taxation
