    basroilDec. 03, 2012 - 04:30PM JST : This isn't meant for regular consumers,

    Sony can still make a profit by charging $25K if enough super rich people buy it. Sony is not "cool" like Apple.

    The other business strategy is charge less so a lot more people can buy it and still make a profit.

    The newer generation probably doesn't even know about Sony or Sony walkman.

    Elbuda MexicanoDec. 12, 2012 - 09:19AM JST :Yes,$$$ talks and the ruling class in Michigan will just crap all over the hard working men and women of that state, for SHAME!

    For example, if 60,000 union members pay $40 a month which total about $28,800,000 a year. That's a lot of money. Where does all that money goes toward?

    globalwatcherDec. 09, 2012 - 12:16PM JST : Unless you have a naked capital investment. All dividends in retirement fund is excluded.

    That may be true now. That won't be the case under Obama raising taxes on the people making $250,000.

    Would Raising Taxes On Investment Income Hurt The Economy? @ http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2012/11/29/166180020/would-raising-taxes-on-investment-income-hurt-the-economy

    If Obama gets what he wants in the fiscal cliff negotiations, capital gains would go from being taxed at 15 percent to more than 20 percent for high-income Americans. And dividends would go from that same 15 percent rate to more than 39 percent.

    Obama is making this into the Republicans not wanting to tax the rich when he is not making a lot of spending cuts at the same time.

    Raising taxes and not cutting spending means the country will still be in the hole.

    paulinusaDec. 09, 2012 - 11:41AM JST : To all four of you, this has come down to the richest 2% paying just 4.5 % more taxes. 4.5% ! And on top of that, the 4.5% rate applies only to their income above $250,000.

    That include taxes on dividends earned too.

    Extending the Bush-Obama's tax cut is not helping the country in the long the run. People are paying less taxes toward SS. It should be the maxium so that retirees can get what they earned and future retirees can have something to look forward to. Don't have a problem paying more taxes when it goes toward the future. Congress must and should not touch SS/medicare funds.

    If everyone is not doing their fair share now, everyone may pay a higher tax rate in the future to make up for losses that occurred in the past and now.

    Maybe you should re-read the articles again.

    The outcome is Morsi and the MB stay in power.

    In a democracy country, the leader would have resigned under pressure instead of empowering oneself to power.

    Giving billions to Egpt is consider getting involved. Why is the USA giving money to Egypt or any country in the Middle East?

    Wasn't there an article on JT a few years ago that Sony says they did not have the cutomer in mind which caused them to lose market shares? The price tag of $25K is a lot. A person can buy a brand new car for that price.

    If the government, the Republicans and Democrats. would stop taking funds from SS and medicare then people would not have to worried about retirement. The tax cut for SS should stay put. No point in contributing more to SS funds if the government continues using those funds for other things instead of what it is suppose to be for.

    smithinjapanDec. 03, 2012 - 01:10AM JST : Most amusing about this thread is that the few GOP supporters who have removed their heads from the sand have come on here and done the exact same thing that lost the election for Romney -- they won't address the issues and instead blame their own inadequacies on everything but the cause. I guess in some universe that's a win.

    Why don't you state those issues? You don't like the issues that are brought up because you get offended by it. You called it blaming. There is a difference between blaming and analyzing.

    smithinjapanDec. 02, 2012 - 09:03PM JST : They mock stupidity, and the GOP provides it. Stop blaming the news reporters for showing it and start fixing the stupidity so you don't get mocked. You've proven yourself quite a mocker on this thread alone, for example. Is that JT's fault? My fault? Is it a 'Liberal smear campaign'? No, it's your own comments and inability to address the actual problems.

    Just on JT to give my two cents and balance the views on JT. The media comment was not a personal attack toward you or JT.

    The media is a big influences on society. The media controls the message. Why do you think some countries only have a state media? The mainstream media is biased favoring Obama/Democrats over Romney/Republicans. Not sure why you are offended by that. The media can choose whoever they want to support. It is an observation and assessment of the elections 2012. You don't have to agreed with it. JT is not consider mainstream media.

    I did state why the Republicans lost overall and what they need to do but you have issues with them.
