FROM CNN MONEY
> McCain and Obama want to change the bottom-line effects of the tax code. Here's a dollars-and-cents breakdown of what their plans could mean for you.
This makes me a bit upset to say the least!!!!!!!!!!!!
> Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election:
> CAPITAL GAINS TAX
> MCCAIN
> 0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.
> OBAMA
> 28% on profit from ALL home sales
>
> How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.

> DIVIDEND TAX
> MCCAIN 15% (no change)
>
> OBAMA 39.6%
>
> How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that 'Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.'
