JOHN BOEHNER STANDS TO MAKE MILLIONS IF THE MILLIONAIRE TAX CUT CONTINUES so HE voted to block middle class tax cuts until HE gets his special second tax cut for millionaires even though 99% of the people in the district HE represents make significantly LESS than the 250,000 cut off Dems proposed and republicans blocked yesterday

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) purchased about $700,000 in blue chip stocks in December after liquidating a profit-sharing retirement fund.

Late last year, Boehner sold off between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000 of his Nucite Sales profit-sharing retirement plan, according to congressional financial
disclosure documents. Nucite was a plastics company that provided the bulk of his wealth.

On the day he that unloaded that retirement fund, Boehner bought at least $698,000 in companies such as Goldman Sachs, BP, AT&T, Chevron, ExxonMobil, JPMorgan, Pepsi and Microsoft. He also put between $100,000 and $250,000 in a UBS liquid asset fund.

Boehner also loaded up on $81,000 on bonds and notes from companies like AT&T Wireless, Duke Energy, General Electric and the now-shuttered Bear Stearns.

While Republicans spent much of the year saying that Fannie Mae needs reformation, Boehner bought between $1,001 and $5,000 of the companys securities, along with at least $15,000 of Federal Home Loan Bank securities. Boehner also bought at least $15,000 in U.S. Treasury notes.

Why do people elect these kind of people to represent them???
 
millions? doesn't look like you did the math or there are figures you haven't given us...

i don't see anything close to a million dollars in savings should the approximately 3% tax cut not be extended

LOL @ Ken....have you ever been to his district? LOL The man is constantly getting into trouble there for being faaar to liberal.
 
Maybe I'm off on this but isn't the tax cut just on individual rates and not capital gains? This article is talking about his money made via investments taxed at capital gain rates. So this tax cut has nothing to do with what the article is discussing. And i assume he makes what others in the House make which I believe is under $200k. If that is right he is not making millions off the tax cut.
 
Note to self, NEVER GO THERE!

Dude, Cincinnati kicks *ss. Lots of cool history there and some awesome old historic neighborhoods.

I assume you were just making a joke but I don't understand why people won't visit somewhere because they don't like the politics. I think the politics of San Francisco suck but it wouldn't stop me from visiting it (or in my case living here).

OH I don't know about that. Boehner's district essentially extends from the northern Cincinnati suburbs due north along the Indiana borer and it includes parts of Hamilton, Preeble, Dark and the southern half of Mercer county (where I'm from with my home town of Coldwater being the very northern end of his district) It's mostly corn fields, small towns, dairy farms, with a couple of rust belt industrial towns (or parts of them). The population is predominantly rural and of southern German heritage. Their mostly god fearing Catholics who tend to be xenophobic to an extreme and hugely distrustful of anyone or anything that is even slightly different then they are. 30 years ago they were mostly staunch union Democrats but with the demise of much of the industry in the region they have become staunch conservative Republicans. Adjusted for inflation the median per capita income has declined in the region by about 25% over the last 30 years but it now takes two wage earners to generate that income instead of one. Despite this decline most of the constituency is far more concerned with social issues, such as, guns, gays and abortion, then they are on economic issues. The region has also grayed (aged) badly because the lack of economic opportunity that has caused most of the young people of the last two generations to leave the region for States with greater access to jobs and higher education (there isn't one state funded university in Boehner's entire district.) with the median age of a home owner being in the mid to low 50's. I myself left the area as a young man not because I was alienated from the region. Most of my family still lives there and I have a large number of life long friends who live there. I left because there were no educational nor economic oppurtunities for me there. It is a region which is deeply disconnected from the issues which plague urban America and it is highly reactionary as most of the aging population want to live a life they have always known and wish to be isolated from the tremendous changes which have over taken our nation in the last 50 years.

Having said all this, the people there are the salt of the earth type that take 10 years to get to know you but then are friends for life who, when you are in need, will give you the shirt off your back and will be there to lend a helping hand when you are facing difficulties. They are kind and generous but really just want to be left alone to live like they always have for the last 100 years. In other words, they are pretty typical midwest farm folk who live by the christian work ethic who are pretty overwhelmed by changes in our nation that really haven't affected them to a great degree.

I agree....but Boenher's district doesn't really include Cincinnati. That's Representative Steve Chabot. I mean I wouldn't recomment Boehner's district as a tourist destination either, not because there's nothing wrong with it just because it's mostly corn fields. LOL Though Wright Patterson AFB is part of his district and the Air Force museum there is well worth the time to visit. It's truly world class. The annual air show in Vandalia is in his district too and that's also worth seeing. It's one of the top air shows in the world. Other then that....not a whole lot to see in that part of Ohio.

Boehner's actions make him look really bad! like when he cashed in his retirement fund and what he did with that money!

On Dec. 12, 2009, Boehner, sold his retirement account from the small plastics company he once operated, receiving between $1 million and $5 million.
Later that day, Boehner bought hundreds of thousands of dollars in stock in large, blue-chip companies, including BP, Dublin-based Cardinal Health, Xerox, Cisco Systems and Goldman Sachs.
"Boehner closed out his retirement account from the small business he ran before coming to Congress, and, on the advice of his financial adviser, shifted the funds to other investments," said Cory Fritz, a Boehner spokesman.




Yeah, I bet he did!

What's the problem the problem with what he did?

I have to agree. What did he do wrong? Having money is not a crime and I don't see where's he's profited from insider knowledge or at the tax payers expense. What is a crime is his hair. There should be laws about using that much hair gel.

And his ugly colored tan, I just see it as a conflict of interest and I guess I don't understand blind trusts.

He basically diversified. Almost every financial advisor would tell you to do the same thing. It sounds like he had his money tied up in one company. The advisor said sell that and put it in a wider array of stocks. Not sure what the conflict of interest is there.

He makes laws and regulation and other things that influence all the industries he put his money into, I have a problem with this. It may not be justified, I still don't think it is right.

Well your issue is not with Bonher then but the rules of Congress.
