RE: zero tax on dividends or capital gains



It was the first I'd heard it and it sounds pretty good to me. I think he said it applied to incomes below $250k.


But not sure if its an attractive campaign item. He's advocating that wealthy people who don't work (and thus have no salaried income) can make $249,000 per year off their brokerage accounts while sitting on their butts watching tv, and pay zero tax. Anyone working and making $60,000 per year and paying tax is going to think that's fishy.
