Olbermann's an idiot. Has nothing to do with this commentary. He's just an idiot. Why anybody listens to anything he says is beyond me. He should have stuck with his ESPN job where he could get away with being an idiot and nobody noticing it.

If you were stupid enough to only invest in a DOW index fund or ETF, then you're correct, you wouldn't have any capital gains to pay for the Bush period shown in the graph. However, smart investors diversify beyond just a single index and would likely have substantial capital gains over the same period of time... 5%, 10%, 20%, maybe more depending on your asset allocation. So please do your homework before you try to mislead the educated.

A little off the subject, but why do you say, "The mortgage crisis is... wrecking peoples' lives?" Did this happen completely independent of homeowners getting in over their heads? Maybe we should start looking a little bit closer to home to find the cause of this problem.
