Woodsrunner, I was wrong on the IRA, I was thinking of my 401k. It has gone up as the markets have been improving over the last 18 months, lowering the interest rates helped people feel more secure in buying more expensive stuff and the companys that started to report profit and loss correctly helped it go up.
I was wondering if and when they do open a Moon base if that is where we will be able to ride?HAHA.
Lets get back to talking quads as nobody agrees over politics, okay? AlaskaBoy.

( ie less taxes ) and the democrates just want you to give them your money ,so they can invest it in welfare systems , so they have a voter base they can control. if you want to know the average americans , or the welthy anyone making over 60,000 a year thats what the democrates say is welthy , pay like 92% of the tax base of this country and the top 1%earners pay over 50% of the tax base . the republicans are the only party that is trying to give some thing back to the general population.not just the welfare recipiants . hey spudss you want 3rd world why don't you join a military service and have them send you to iraq . thats where i am right now and if you think a 3rd world nation is so great you should see what a leader like saddam did to a country that had more free welth then many and what kind of abject poverty these people live in . when's the last time you lived in a mud block hut with a dirt floor ,you should try it .it's not pretty .
sincerely SSG Dean G.

BTW, for anyone using the words "top 1% of income earners" and "rich" in the same sentence I would recommend you get the facts straight. My household income puts me in the top 1% of earners and I am by no means "rich" I can assure you. The problem with a general classification like that is that the top 1% is an extremely broad range of income. I'm not a movie star or a professional sports or media figure and I don't develop software. I may be in the top 1% but I doubt I would be welcome at the same country club as the "real rich" people. So by coming down hard on the top 1% you are coming down hard on me and my family. I live pretty well compared to most I suppose but d@mn it I deserve it! And guess what, I put it back into the economy every time I make a purchase, hire someone to do a job for me, or make a charitable donation. And if you think only blue collar workers are the ones busting their a$$ then I have news for you...I used to dig ditches with a shovel and I come from an entire family of blue collar workers. I then went to college full-time (paid for entirely by me) while working full-time and driving over 100 miles a day almost 7-days a week. My marriage sucked and I owned my first home that I had no time to enjoy but I was determined so I did it. Now I hear somebody telling me that I don't deserve what I have or that I should pay more taxes because I am privelidged.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] If I want to lower my standard of living so that everything I have worked for and sacrificed can go to the aid of others who in my opinion, don't deserve it, then I guess I'll vote Democrat. But that will never happen!

Pretty ridiculous classification don't you think? I believe the top 1% of earners or the so-called rich are over 100K a year. If that has changed recently someone please let me know. Gee, I guess I'm about as well off as Bill Gates. LOL!!

If you have dividend producing stocks that are eligible, the dividends are not taxed as ordinary income but at different rates going by your income level.

I am going to use the lower scale at the 5% tax rate for reference. You have income of $100.00 that came from stock XYZ that is eligible, in the past you were taxed on the full amount just as if it were earned income. For the next 4 years you will only be taxed on $5.00 out of that $100.00, 95.00 is tax free.

At some point the money that is not taxed is going to show up back in the economy as returned investment or the money will be spent on goods and services.

Myself, I will be investing long term back into the stock market.
