FEATURED BLOG
The
Backyard Conservative, the voice of Anne Leary,
a conservative in the
Chicago suburbs. This blog is a product of over 25 years of biting her
tongue in polite society. Her family has a tradition of journalism, she
is a Graduate of Harvard, MBA University of Chicago, experience in
commodity brokerage, corporate lending with a money center bank,
community volunteer. A near empty-nester, and an interesting
perspective!
FROM THE
BACKYARD....OBAMA'S TAX PLAN: This is disturbing news on the
taxation front. The Wall Street Journal’s Steve Moore says
Obama’s tax plan would add up to a 39.6 percent personal income tax, a
52.2 percent combined income and payroll tax, a 28 percent
capital-gains tax, a 39.6 percent dividends tax, and a 55 percent
estate tax. In other words, Sen. Obama is a very-high-tax candidate.
Whether Wall Street has fully discounted this, I have no idea.
Probably not yet. But somebody in the investor class ought to be
thinking about it, because it’s not good. Just what we need in a
slowing economy. (sarcasm here)
