If you read your own article, this will have fairly small impacts. Not to mention your entire argument is simply a sensationalist fallacy.

Obama is a disaster.

If they declare income brackets based off dividends, passive income...a lot of clients will be screwed. That's just wrong. Could you imagine living 70 years, busting your balls, and then having the gov't start taxing you out the a$$ on your nest egg?mingmao3046

Your own article mentions how IRA's and 401-k's are unaffected.

Anyone investing in stocks or dividend stocks are doing so with an inherent risk. One of those risks among many are increased tax rates. Hey, they could've always gone to US Treasury Bonds as safe and secure investments, right? So, no, i dont have much sympathy for someone investing with their money in one of the riskier forms of investment.

That, and the higher tax rate will still only affect those earning over $250,000. Working for 70 years and earning $250,000 from passive income through dividends? I'd still be happy.

Pretty sure you're looking for any reason to bash Obama. He's probably the best thing to happen to the country since Abe Lincoln.LiquidAjax

This thread is a disaster zone.
