Market Watch

By Chris Johnson
I’ve made it rather clear over the past few weeks that I love earnings season.  It creates expectations, it moves sentiment to extremes, it gets stocks moving, it gets the adrenaline flowing … in short, it opens up opportunities.

Henry Paulson Plan Reviews

We need your help.
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has put together a plan that is actively under debate and allows the Treasury to invest in assets that are crushing bank balance sheets. We view this plan as being an important step in allowing the global financial system to recapitalize itself.
We agree with financial intellectual titans Warren Buffett and Bill Gross, as well as both presidential candidates, that the Paulson Plan needs to be passed and will benefit Main Street.


We believe that if the Paulson Plan is done correctly, American taxpayers will profit not only from the return of lending capacity to our banks, but also from these troubled investments. However, the plan should embrace the tenets of free-market capitalism. The government should demand equity stakes in the banks.

We think taxpayers deserve to benefit from a deal soundly rooted in free-market principles. We, the undersigned, encourage you to call the people who represent you in the House and Senate and demand that the approved deal include provisions for equity ownership. Go to www.house.gov and www.senate.gov to find the phone numbers for your elected representatives.

Finally, even though these are extraordinary times, we stand by our belief that the best way to build long-term wealth is through equity ownership. Just look at who is doing a lot of buying of late -- Warren Buffett.


We encourage you to take a few minutes -- now! -- to call your elected officials and let them know that there needs to be an equity component for taxpayers.

1. Written by Paulson Plan is not right, on 27-09-2008 14:42
The anger is coming from right-leaning groups as well. The National Taxpayers Union's "No More Bailouts!" petition reads: "Bailouts that keep mismanaged organizations afloat delay natural corrections to unsound business practices. . . . Enough is enough. No more bailouts. Not with my tax dollars."
2. The Paulson Plan is the wrong way!

I'm interested in following up on the figures you have presented. Where are they from? Most of what I hear from the presidential campaigns talks about raising taxes (or returning tax levels to pre-cut percentages) on incomes above $250K. My understanding is that $250K puts you in the top 1%, not 5%. 
 
I admit I need to find reliable sources for this data. Does anyone trust GAO and CBO for these things? They seem like a good place to start. The think tanks seem to play a little loose with the stats for my taste.
