-Caveat Lector- Willie - yes any tax reduction plan will obviously benefit the person who earns more than one who earns less. The point is to try to make a plan that at least attempts to help those who need it most, rather than one that barely helps the worst off, and hugely benefits the top.
The republicans keep saying that the dividend thang is fair because 50% of Americans own stocks. That is really only a partial statistic. For the person who owns 10000 shares of Pepsi this is a great break. For the person who owns one share of Pepsi it does not help then at all. If you crunch the numbers over 90% of the benefit of this goes to under 10% of the population - the ten percent that least needs the help. on 01/08/03 3:17 AM, Willie Martin at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > -Caveat Lector- > > This tax plan will help the rich is the propaganda bs that the Democratic > Party has put > out for years and plays on peoples dislike for wealthy people.
