I tell people about these rates where short term gains and dividends were considered "unearned" income and subject to the highest rate possible, no matter what the marginal rate on your "earned" income. However, I can't complain too much. I made a lot of money during the 60s and through the 80s and kept a lot of it. But when I hear billionaires complain about a 35% marginal rate, I feel like bitch-slapping them.
