2008 CONTRAST ON WHERE McCAIN – OBAMA STAND ON YOUR MONEY
November 3, 2008

If you have read our 2008 Voter Guide (see to the right), you know where the two presidential candidates stand on social and moral issues. Here is where they stand on fiscal issues. The contrast is dramatic and will affect families for generations to come.

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

McCain - 0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales capital gains tax.

Obama - 28% on profit from ALL home sales.

DIVIDEND TAX

McCain – 15% (no change)

Obama – 39.6% - If you have money invested stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying a nearly 40% tax on the money earned.
