1. I have a very uncertain future with the extension. Without, all but certain doom.

4. Unemployed and HELL NO!
The misnamed Bush tax cuts are far more than the top marginal rate, and I'm kind of surprised nobody wants to talk about the rest of it.

The 5% increase in capital gains (back up to 20%) for those in the top marginal rate is what they're really concerned about.

A 3% rise in your $500K salary only amounts to ~$15,000, but paying another 5% on the capital gains you take with your $20M portfolio can be hundreds of thousands, and if you're really rich it could be millions!
