The gains aren't 33% lower you mathematical midget. The top rate increased from 15% to 23.8% - that's an 8.8% reduction in after tax gains, not 33%. My lord fuck you are stupid. I sure as hell hope you are joking about doing your own investing.
Under your theory it would be almost a 40% increase in taxes on gains!
No, dumb ass, the rate went from 15-20%.
5% is 33% of 15% you moron. 5 is 1/3 of 15 you fool.
It went up 5% from 15% to 20%. That 5% increase represents 33% of the 15% it was before the increase.
It went up 33%.
You are dumb as a box of rocks. Keep the "do you want fries with that" job.
It fits you.
The tax rate went up 33% but your after tax gains do not go DOWN 33% as a result, as you have claimed. After tax gains only decreases by 5.8%. See above post http://www.usmessageboard.com/polit...obama-my-paycheck-is-less-14.html#post6600813 and do yourself a favor and refrain from doing your own investing.
"INCREASE ON TAXES"
is what I clearly stated.
You have your Obama talking points down very well though.
