So now we know that all 3 Democratic candidates have their eyes on capital gains/dividends as well as the top regular income tax rate as mechanisms to raise money for universal health care.
This represents a serious dilemma for me: I find Republican's stance on almost everything aside from taxes absolutely revolting; however, a raise in taxes of the magnitude the Democrats are talking about would represent a major disaster for me in that it would delay my personal plans significantly.
Given that the choices from the Republican field are--to put it mildly--pretty bad, I think it is fairly certain we're going to end up with a Democrat president as well as a Democratic majority in Congress.
I hate politics. It injects an element of uncertainty in everything I do. And let me tell you, I'm really looking forward to having >50% of my income taken from me for taxes.
