Jim F, 1) Rmoney has released just two years worth of tax returns. You have to trust him when he says he has been paying a 14% tax for the long term. After all, he is the most trustworthy person in the Republican party and the Presidential candidate. 2) I am glad to hear that you have no issue with your tax rate. I believe we have lower tax rates in Canada. In addition, the bulk of our taxes are spent on comprehensive medical services for ALL residents. > I watched Romney's acceptance speech at the Republican convention last night. > It was dumb and boring.

I especially enjoyed Chris Crisco and his blubbering. 4) Returning to the subject mater, I did a goggle search on what the convention decided regarding the gold standard. There is no news on this subject. Regardless, Bernanke spoke on the US economy this morning. I am not sure what he said but the immediate reaction was that gold spiked up. ML11 2112EST
