Bull! One of my best friends is a Widow with 3 children. Fortunately for her her husband left her with some life insurance. After hiring a financial planner and investing in stocks that offer dividends, she manages to make it by (as well as work as a janitor in a Jr. High School in the Northsore School District.....can you imagine your wife working as a janitor if you died?) thanks to those dividends. She is very excited at the prospects of not paying taxes on her dividends. She needs every single dollar she can manage to save for the welfare of her children. Why don't democrats want what is best for my friend? Why do they want to deny her the money she needs to raise her children? She is on a limited income as it is.....why will dems do everything in their power to make certain she doesn't get as much as possible? Why are the dems so against average Americans like my friend? Shame on democrats for being so greedy and selfish that they would deny a widow with children as much help as possible. M

we agree on something. g most go to the bank and change the cd to a new cd... No problem cut dividend tax.. but also cut the brackets for lower income.. thank God these people kept their money in cd's the last three years they would have lost their life savings. Now they tell us tonight there is also a tax cut towards capital gains.. if the corporation doesn't issue dividends but retain the earnings them some term they are using as equal fairness .. the capital gains will be offset.. Another night mare for tax time and gold mine for accountants.
