Well, 2011 is just about over and so it is time to talk about tax changes (again). An article written by Josh Barro in the Wall Street Journal thinks higher taxing of capital gains and dividends is going in the wrong direction. He has a different plan (it is rather long and dry, but well written. Try and wade through it; he has some good ideas.) Read it here:http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203413304577088783329488836.htmlWith Congress (the opposite of progress) constantly fighting over taxes, it might be wise for them to look at this article too.My next post will be on Tuesday January 3 (I plan to sleep late and watch the Rose Parade and some football on Monday).Have a happy and safe New Years and welcome 2012!
