7:09 pm
deadly violence that occurred here in the past week, harris. >> harris: so we're hearing from them on what they want. what can we expect from the vote tomorrow. >> well, what we can expect is a tense scene, fear of violence and acts at the polling station is a concern and security very high. army and police will be at the very polling stations and we can also, harris, expect a confusing scene, a lot of parties, a lot of candidates and incredibly complicated system that could take literally months for the voters to come up with a new parliament, a new government, a big to make a good gain in all of this, and the parties because they're well-organized, they can get out the vote. but in fact, support and turnout for the whole election could be high, despite the complications, despite the difficulties and despite the dangers which we have personally seen here on the ground, folks here think look

7:25 pm
making less and majority earnings under 50,000 pay nothing. as a result in 2007, 1% of the people paid almost 50% of allstate income taxes. and the top 10%, about 79%, the top 20% 90%, compared to 6 million californians who made nothing and another 4 million who paid less than 1%. so 143,000 super rich, less than 1/2 of 1% of the state population actually pays 42% of allstate income taxes, but when the market tanked, state income tax revenue fell by 25%. and tolt, that le-- volatility that left california broke. >> california illustrates what can go wrong. in california the tax rate on capital gains is the same as ordinary income tax rate and that's a very high rate and that means that the tax revenue of the state

7:32 pm
will no longer deal with syria's central banks and it turns off the flow of money from arab government to projects inside syria and the assad's government went on the offensive immediately criticizing the arab league and changing the track particulars, cities, mass roundup and torture and indiscriminate killing of civil yujs. the syrian protests began in march and the regime has been able to stay in power and it's increasingly isolated around the world. what started as massive street protests demanding the president's resignation morphed and while assad department enough control to prevent is civil war this weekend there's been horrific violence however the international community continues to treat syria with kid gloves, refusing to even

the big day for online holiday shopping, one clue, this is the first time the nrs survey asked shoppers if they used smart phones and tablets over the weekend, they certainly did. more than half said they had or will turn to their december toss help them find prices or buy things black friday weekend and that's some sign, cyber monday will be a big one or a sign that it could be a big bust. there is fear that all early black friday did was move a lot of buying earlier in the season, rather than signal a season during high unemployment and low confidence that will put the happy back in the holiday for retailers. we'll know a lot more when we get numbers for tomorrow. harris, back to you. >> harris: all right. brenda. in other words, tuesday the news is coming. thank you. a fiery crash, when a suspected drunk driver smashes his car into a home, landing in their living room. it is our top story as we go across america.
