I received this via email and can't vouch for its accuracy but accordingly:
Here is what happened on January 1st 2014:
Top Income Tax bracket went from 35% to 39.6%
Top Income Payroll Tax went from 37.4% to 52.2%
Capital Gains Tax went from 15 % to 28%
Dividend Tax went from 15% to 39.6%
Estate Tax went from 0% to 55%
These taxes were all passed under the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as ObamaCare.
Remember this 'fact;' if you still have any money, the Democrats want it!
All these taxes were passed with only Democrat votes.
Not one Republican voted to do these taxes.
We should be grateful that our White Hut overlords haven't decided to tax us at 110%.
I don’t believe this is accurate. If it is, it is time to take to the streets and let everyone know what is happening.
IRS publication http://www.irs.gov/publications/p15/ar02.html#en_US_2014_publink1000254685
shows weekly pay roll deduction with one dependent maxes out at:
2,271.36 plus 39.6% $7,865
I give up on trying to find the rest of the numbers.
Let me see if I understand this right....in addition to the abuses connected with Obamacare & the cost of premiums,these tax increases shown are in addition to that?
