How to Get Taxed 87% in America

Under the conditions described so far, if the company you invest in earns $100 on your behalf and wishes to send it to you as a dividend, you'll end up with $28.44. How's that? Corporate taxes at the maximum federal and average state rate will take $39.10. From the $60.90 that's left, federal dividend taxes will take $24.12; state and city taxes, $6.03; and Medicare taxes, $2.31. That leaves $28.44.

This post is probably a good reason for not moving to NY. Ever. :)

DOW is going down

At one point, Accenture fell more than 90 percent to a penny. P.& G. plunged to $39.37 from more than $60 within minutes.

The crisis in Greece, high-speed computer program trading, the debate over regulatory reform in Washington, talk of errant trades — all were pointed to as possible catalysts. But most agreed the plunge would not have been as bad had the markets not already been on edge over the debt crisis in Europe.

That was pretty eventful day, sir.
