I DID pay higher taxes before.... I paid something like 70% on my first million. Well, then it's not your first million.. It's your first 300k Read previous post...I don't save receipts or anything... at this point everything is just interest and capital gains... Ahh! This explains things.. If it's all short term capital gains, then you are not in line to pay higher taxes, no wonder you don't mind paying more, because YOU WON"T HAVE TOO. Marginal Rates on Short Term Capital Gains is not due to increase.. I just pay. My wife does the taxes, I couldn't be bothered. You have time to be bothered to post on internet message boards all day, but you can't be bothered with a tax return¿¿¿¿ she DID deduct the kids and herself and all that... and filed joint... I think that "saves money". Uhhh. You do realize... You can't deduct "the kids and herself" off of capital gains¿ Don't you? Read my other posts... my accountants take care of everything but I pay WAY MORE taxes than a person who is "aggressive" with their accounting. I don't even have a mortgage... I pay cash when I move. I thought you said you wife does the taxes? Now you have an accountant¿¿ If it's all just interest and capital gains as you claim, then you don't need an accountant. You have no means to be aggressive with your accounting because you have nothing to be aggressive with? Are you sure you are telling us the truth? Or are you a broke liberal acting like you are a multi-millionaire? Because it seems that you have no understanding of the tax code? PCSTEL

I think you guyz just can't imagine THAT THIS IS NOT A BIG DEAL for a lot of people.... but it IS for others.... so? Oh! I can clearly understand that it is not a BIG DEAL FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE... Like about 98% of the American populous that it won't effect. Perhaps if it was going to affect you, then it might be a DEAL. PCSTEL
