-Caveat Lector- Thew 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. MJ Why? Why not treat ALL Citizens EQUALLY? Why should one individual pay MORE or LESS than another?
Thew 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. MJ <sigh> Many Americans -- perhaps MORE than 50% -- have retirement instruments that fall under this DOUBLE TAXATION stock problem.
