DUmmies, your tax on dividends, which is what retired people live on (well actually, your parents because I'm sure you probably don't have stock in a company or a 401k, you are banking on SS
), is about to go from 15% to 43%.
Also, as of this Friday, we will have the highest corporate tax in the WORLD. Like that will make businesses want to climb all over each other to start a company in the US or stay here. You people are idiots.
Oh, and CA's (thank God I only had to spend 2 years there) Jerry Brown in trying to pass a 13.3% state tax. It was 9.3% when I moved there in 2009. Then a few months later they tacked on additional taxes that they "borrowed" from the taxpayers.
