Currently all my taxable income is dividends or capital gains as I am sure it is for many who are retired.
If this is proposed by Obama we will need to call our representatives to defeat it. If there was an income level where it wouldn't affect me I would be OK with the change.
That it is being talked about worries me.
Bloomberg.com: Worldwide
"Stiglitz said Obama, who's argued against cutting taxes for upper-income Americans, should also consider rolling back outgoing President George W. Bush's 2001 to 2003 tax cuts as well as taxing dividends and capital gains as ordinary income."
(this is a tax issue; not a political issue - that is why I didn't put it in the soapbox)
