Quote:CAPITAL GAINS TAX this one has already been de-bunked [url "http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/would_obama_tax_my_profits_if_i.html"]http://www.factcheck.org/...my_profits_if_i.html[/url] Q: Would Obama tax my profits if I sell my home? Would he tax my IRA? Would he tax my water? A: No. A new e-mail being circulated about Obama's tax proposals is almost entirely false. Alert readers may already have noted that this chain e-mail does not provide links to any of Obama's actual proposals or cite any sources for the claims it makes. That is because they are made up.[font "Arial"][size 3]This widely distributed message is so full of misinformation that we find it impossible to believe that it is the result of simple ignorance or carelessness on the part of the writer. Almost nothing it says about Obama's tax proposals is true. We conclude that this deception is deliberate.[/size][/font] Home Sales: The claim that Obama would impose a 28 percent tax on the profit from "all home sales" is false. Both Obama and McCain would continue to exempt the first $250,000 of gain from the sale of a primary residence ($500,000 for a married couple filing jointly) which results in zero tax on all but a very few home sales. [li][font "Arial"][size 3]Capital Gains Rate: It's untrue that Obama is proposing a 28 percent capital gains tax rate. He said [/size][/font][size 3][size 3]in an [url "http://www.cnbc.com/id/23835435/site/14081545/page/2/"][#023f7e]interview[/#023f7e][/url] on CNBC that [/size][/size][font "Arial"][size 3]he favors raising the top rate on capital gains from its present 15 percent to [/size][/font][font "Arial"][size 3]20 percent or more, but no higher than 28 percent. And as for a 28 percent rate, he added, "[/size][/font][size 3][size 3]my guess would be it would be significantly lower than that." Furthermore, he has said only couples making $250,000 or more (or, his policy advisers tell us, singles making more than $200,000) would pay the higher capital gains rate. That means the large majority of persons who pay capital gains taxes would see no increase at all.[/size][/size][font "Arial"][size 3] [/size][/font][li][font "Arial"][size 3]Tax on Dividends: Another false claim is that Obama proposes to raise the tax rate on dividends to 39.6 percent. Dividends currently are taxed at a top rate of 15 percent, and Obama would raise that to the same rate as he would tax capital gains, somewhere between 20 percent and 28 percent but likely "significantly" lower than 28 percent. This higher tax also would fall only on couples making $250,000 or more or singles making more than $200,000. [/size][/font][li][font "Arial"][size 3]Taxing IRAs and 529s: Contrary to the claim in this e-mail, raising tax rates on capital gains or dividends would not result in higher taxes on any investments held in Individual Retirement Accounts or in popular, tax-deferred "college funds" under section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code. The whole point of such tax-deferred plans is that dividends and capital gains are allowed to accumulate and compound tax-free, and neither Obama nor McCain proposes to change that. And as previously mentioned, any capital gains or dividend income from stocks, bonds or mutual funds owned outside of tax-deferred accounts would continue to be taxed at current rates except for couples making over $250,000, or singles making more than $200,000. [/size][/font][li][font "Arial"][size 3]Doubled Taxes? The claim that "Under Obama your taxes will more than double!" is also false. The comparative rate tables this e-mail provides for McCain and Obama are entirely wrong, as we [url "http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/do_middle-income_persons_pay_lower_federal_income.html"][#023f7e]explained[/#023f7e][/url] in an earlier article March 13 about another false e-mail from which these tables are copied. It is[/size][/font][font "Arial"][size 3] supposedly a comparison of tax rates before and after the Bush tax cuts, but it grossly overstates the effect of the Bush cuts. Furthermore, Obama proposes to retain the Bush cuts for every single income level shown in this bogus table. [/size][/font][li][font "Arial"][size 3]Estate Tax. The claim that Obama proposes to "restore the inheritance tax" is also false, as are the claims that McCain would impose zero tax and that Bush "repealed" it. McCain and Obama both would retain a reduced version of the estate tax, as it is correctly called, though McCain would reduce it by more. The tax now falls only on estates valued at more than $2 million (effectively $4 million for couples able to set up the required legal and financial arrangements). It reaches a maximum rate of 45 percent on amounts more than that. It was not repealed, but it is set to expire temporarily in 2010, then return in 2011, when it would apply to estates valued at more than $1 million ($2 million for couples), with the maximum rate rising to 55 percent. Obama has proposed to apply the tax only to estates valued at more than $3.5 million ($7 million for couples), holding the maximum rate at 45 percent. McCain would apply it to estates worth more than $5 million ($10 million for couples), with a maximum rate of 15 percent. [/size][/font][li][font "Arial"][size 3]"New Tax" Falsehoods: The e-mail continues with a string of made-up taxes that it falsely claims Obama has proposed. He has not proposed a tax on new homes with more than 2,400 square feet, or a new gasoline tax or a tax on retirement accounts. The most laughably false claim is that Obama would tax "water[/size][/font][/li] just more lies brought to you be the smear campaign of john mc cane dont be fooled by an email, and dont be the one spreading these lies, and looking foolish !!!! dont let it happen to you !!!!! sm [signature][/li][/li][/li][/li][/li]
