HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED, QUIETLY, ON JANUARY 1, 2016

Top Income tax bracket went from 35% to 39.6%

Top Income payroll tax went from 37.4% to 52.2%

Capital Gains tax went from 15% to 28%

Dividend tax went from 15% to 39.6%

BTW...how long did you spend making things bold and fancy. Take it to the Club.

Not sure if I should believe the internet, or the internet? :confused:

Top Medicare tax went from 1.45% to 2.35%: Most taxpayers will pay 1.45% in Medicare tax in 2016. Top earners ($125,000 individual/$250,000 couple) will pay a 0.9% surcharge, bringing the top Medicare tax to 2.35%, which has remained unchanged from 2013.

Top income tax bracket went from 35% to 39.6%: The top income tax bracket in 2016 ($415,000 individual/$466,950 couple) will be 39.6%, the same as in 2013, 2014 and 2015. The rate was increased under the bipartisan American Tax Payer Relief Act of 2012, not Obamacare.

Top income payroll tax went from 37.4% to 52.2%: The Affordable Care Act set the top income payroll tax at 42.5% effective January 2013; however, that rate does not reflect additional state payroll taxes.

Capital Gains taxes went from 15% to 28%: The maximum net capital gain tax rate is 20% in 2016, but most taxpayers pay less than that. However, a 25-28% tax rate does apply to certain types of capital gains, theIRS reports.

Estate taxes went from 0 to 55%: Overall, estate tax rates have decreased over the last 15 years (the rate was 55% in 2001, and it was set at 40% in 2013). Estates of those who die in 2016 will have a basic exclusion amount of $5.450 million, up from the $5.430 million exclusion in 2015. The basic exclusion is the amount an individual can leave to heirs without paying federal estate taxes.
