Bloomberg:

Analysts have speculated that the Treasury would wipe out common shareholders, while seeking to shield preferred stockowners from total loss. Fannie and Freddie preferred shares are typically owned by banks and insurance companies. Their $5.2 trillion of debt outstanding is held by investors including Asian central banks, and would probably be guaranteed, analysts said.

“Treasury’s main concern is the debt markets, and if it was to say that it will do whatever is necessary to keep Fannie and Freddie running, the better it is for their funding,” said Alex Pollock, fellow at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington and former president of the Chicago Federal Home Loan Bank.

One of the goals of bailout is to protect largest holders: Japanese and Chinese investors.

John,

Gov Palin has 90% approval rate cause she signed the largest tax increase in history (her colleagues took her raise and increased it even more!) on the super hard working and successful oil companies and gave all residents 1200 rebate. My only question is why isn’t isn’t 100%?
May actually decrease federal taxes for the companies because they get larger state tax deduction. Dems, rebs, you all just keep raising taxes on the other guy.

It took what another day and now Exxon and Chevron have another place to procure energy: Libya. Sec Rice met with the nice dictator and may have discussed the 41.5 billion barrels of proven crude oil reserves in Libya, Africa’s largest. I wonder what the tax rates Rice (former board member at Chevron) will negotiate? Could be less than Alaska?
See, you cant keep raising taxes on us, we will just move our drills to other lands.

I would support a cut in interest income rate tax (first x dollars for all) to encourage savings. I could accept raising cap gains tax by a few points to finance the first cut.

Heck, how many of us have cap gains in recent years? In retrospect, I would have loved to pay 25% rate on my 5 baggers in 2000. In 2000 at height of bubble I was thinking of stock tax rate (STUPID thought). I know several people who didnt sell houses in 2005-6 because they didnt want to pay taxes. Don’t let Tax rates cloud your judgement.
