The next lowest bracket - 25% - will rise to 28%, and the old 28% bracket will be 31% That smacks the working class and the middle class. They are also bringing back the marriage penalty and cutting the standard deduction for couples. Ironic I suppose, right when the gays get to marry. Only if you make the leap in logic that the Bush tax cut would be repealed IN ITS ENTIRETY, which is certainly not going to happen. No one except those on the extreme right are talking about it. |

That would require legislation that we have not seen yet. The end of the tax cuts is on autopilot for 12/31/10. Just about everything requires legislation. Perhaps you can get the Republicans in Congress to actually do something vs. nothing. My guess is they will kick the can down the road a year so the next congress can get a swing at it but who knows what will come out of the lame duck session. I do think there will be a big sell off in the stock market if they do let them expire or simply raise the cap gains tax. It will be a good buying opportunity because I would expect to see people buying back in January once they cash out their profits at the lower rate. |

They will still be at a historically very low rate, and no one is suggesting a complete repeal. |

If past performance is any guide, this will be a 2000 page tax bill that nobody will actually read until about June of 2011 No crystal ball needed. The fact is that they would still be at a low historically. And, again, nobody is talking about letting it expire in its entirety. That's just right-wing paranoia. There's even talk among Democrats of leaving in some of the breaks for the rich. |
