More tax breaks for the rich are needed badly. Hurry and save us rich people we need are trains, planes, castles and lavish parties.
After eight year of hearing how the poor middle class people can do with out tax cuts or breaks of any kind.
No more republicans.......ever!

"Speaking of mansions, R. Allen Stanford is likely to lose his $100 million fleet of aircraft and his Coral Gables, Florida castle. Bloomberg reports it has a moat and everything. Ironically, the estate is named for George Wackenhut, the founder of Wackenhut Corp. which was once the name of the nation's top prison management company."
Stanford doesn't own a castle. The castle was torn down some time ago and nothing has been built on the property yet. It wasn't named for Mr. Wackenhut, it was previously owned by him. It was named Tyecliffe.
