Stocks Pay Price Of Coming Tax Increases

IDB reports:
Obama originally campaigned for raising the dividend tax to 39.6% from 15%. Then, when his contributors from Wall Street pointed out how devastating that would be to the stock market, he changed his rhetoric to calling for an increase to "only" 20%. But if Congress does nothing, the dividend tax increases to 39.6% on Jan. 1, 2011.
Change you believe in.
