otcbargain: OT Why is the President talking about extending the Bush tax cuts for people with income of less than $250K FOR ONLY 1 YEAR? If he wants to help the middle class, he should make the tax cuts permanent for middle-income people. Raising the tax on dividends for seniors would be terrible, even tragic, since they cannot get a return on their savings at the bank. The number I heard being batted around was 34, or was it 43 percent on divvies? There should be NO tax on divvies.
