So I droped 3% in income tax and 7% in Cap. Gain/Div tax. Every little bit helps.
I'm all for the 15% on capitol gains and dividends, why not on interest.
bottom line though most in the middle class recieve so little of either that it's meaningless as far as their lives go.

You got 3% and are thankfull while the guy making 2 -5 times your income got double that %, multiplied but his income, that's some real coin in his pocket.
