Decomp,

I'm not in the top 20%.
That's why I'm considering moving to Georgia, ribit said the taxes are real cheap! tongue & cheek ;))
a senior doesn't even pay school taxes.

I was laid off last year, I'm expecting my first Social Security check this month. (by the way this process is done over the phone, very convenient)
Might as well start collecting while I can. After all my ex husband died a month prior to collecting, he was 65. And my sister was 58 when she died. clo

re: "so this is really benefitting a very small group of uber-rich who will only use any reduced taxes to acquire even more wealth at the expense of the rest of society."

You're probably right. My issue, btw, isn't with an assault on the low Capital Gains tax. It's with this nonsense about the top 20 percent. This includes you, me, and I'll bet zimbler, Atomic Bob, clo, Lkorrow, ktc, and practically everyone else we know who isn't retired, in school or a welfare slob.

It's the top ONE HALF percent that you're speaking of. The so-called "uber-rich."

An assault on the top TWENTY PERCENT attacks a huge number of middle class, hard-working Americans.
