Shocking news. The new tax rates on dividends will affect different people differently. Stories like this are just part of the Left’s propaganda against any tax rate decreases unless they will benefit every single person by the exact same amount, an impossible goal. It’s as relevant an argument against tax rate cuts as their claim that cutting tax rates during economic downturns is fiscally irresponsible and cutting them during good times is also fiscally irresponsible. So, when is a good time to cut tax rates in the mind of a DemonRat? No surprise there. Any reduction in tax rates is a reduction in the amount of power they have over us, and there is never an acceptable time for that to happen.
