Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election:

 
 
CAPITAL GAINS TAX
 
MCCAIN
15% (no change)
 
OBAMA
28%
 
CLINTON
24%
 
How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into  a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.
 
 
DIVIDEND TAX
 
MCCAIN
15% (no change)
 
 
OBAMA
39.6%
 
CLINTON
39.6%
 
How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama or Clinton become president. The experts predict that "Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit."

INHERITANCE TAX
 
MCCAIN
0%
(No change, Bush repealed this tax)
 
OBAMA
keep the inheritance tax
 
CLINTON
keep the inheritance tax
 
How does this affect you? Many families have lost businesses, farms and ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will not only lose them to these taxes.
