What kind of cap would you put on it? 401k's don't pay dividends taxes. Retirement funds don't pay either. On my $50,000 worth of mutual funds I paid roughly $1000 in dividend taxes and capital gains taxes combined.

Salaries over $87,000 don't pay additional payroll taxes (Social Security). Making the cut there would automatically mean that it was going to lower incomes, whereas dividend tax cuts will always be perceived tax cuts targeted to the rich.

all I know is that we need a tax cut...if not just for my morale...lol

. dividend would help only a little....I am in favor of eliminating the full marriage tax right now, not several years down the road....
