| Here is what a lot of rich folks are wondering today |
|
Edited on Wed Dec-08-10 01:56 PM by LuckyTheDog
Would losing my Bush tax cuts actually cost me less than the amount I am losing in the value of my municipal bond portfolio right now?
D'oh!
:dilemma:

| 1. IF one is truly rich, this is a drop in the bucket, the accountant takes |
|
care of it. I doubt many really care...

A lot of rich people have sizable municipal bond portfolios. Trust funds are full of them.

| 3. Many DUers think $100K income defines rich. |
|
And people at that level do care about the returns they get from any investments.
But the Meg Whitmans of the world probably don't care much.

| 4. I bet they are mostly worried The Debt Ceiling vote. Because if Republicans vote against that, |
|
the economy will collapse.

| 5. The rich have no clue how much anything is costing them... |
|
ask them...the next time someone says they pay too much in taxes, ask them how much they paid...the truly rich will have no idea...they'll say something like "I don't know, but it was too much.." which means ANY TAXES ARE TOO MUCH...
