That will really devastate the middle class and retirees. For example, if you are depending on a 401K, IRAs and/or dividends for income in retirement any pre-tax amounts will get hit with a 43% tax when you withdraw. That is a massive increase.


What? Is he replacing income taxes with this?

He has no idea what that will do to the investment market.....and he really does not care.
Tax and Spend....the only Democrat way of thinking!

Just to clarify, they are going to scrap income tax rates on distributions and replace it with a 45% flat rate?

We will soon see whether indoctrination and propaganda have conditioned the US electorate to a condition in which this sort of thing is no longer an election issue.

We'll be taxed at a 50% rate within our lifetimes, for sure.

I already have my accounts ready to close down and withdraw within 24 hours of a Biden win. Set yours up now if you're old enough and have participated in pre-tax contributions. If you're young and cannot touch feel bad for you in this situation.

My question as well since 401k/IRA distributions are taxed as ordinary income related to your income bracket. That's why Roths make more sense when you are young and in a lower bracket. And less so as your salary grows over your career.

Yea, **** all of that. That's ridiculous. I'm sick of this theme of punishing people for working their asses off and being successful.

Biden's Proposed 43% Capital Gains & Dividend Taxes
Only for some of us......for now.
quote:

Currently, an individual earning between $0 and $40,000 pays a 0% long-term capital gains tax. An individual earning between $40,000 and $441,450 pays a 15% long-term capital gains tax. An individual earning more than $441,450 pays a 20% long-term capital gains tax. The respective rates for married couples filing jointly, heads of households, and married couples filing separately are provided www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc409 by the IRS.

According to an analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), an independent and nonpartisan public policy organization based in Washington, D.C., the capital gains tax rate for those making more than $1 million would increase from 20% (plus a 3.8% surtax) to 37% (plus a 3.8% payroll tax) under Biden . This change is likely where the posts’ claim, which lacks key context, originates.

According to the CRFB, Biden’s plan “would eliminate the preferential treatment of capital gains and dividends for higher earners.”

Eric Toder, co-director of the Tax Policy Center, another independent public policy think tank in Washington, D.C., told Reuters via email that under Biden’s plan, “there is no increase in the capital gains rate for taxpayers with income below $1 million.” The Tax Policy Center’s full analysis of the Democratic presidential nominee’s tax plan is available here.

It not the clearest written thing. But it’s income over $1 million for the top capital gains and dividends bracket. Not sure what the lower brackets would move too
