8. Alan Reynolds: Excluding some dividends and all economics
- www.townhall.com
- Excluding some dividends and all economics.
- Instead of eliminating or reducing the individual tax rate on dividends, the committee opted for a zero tax on the first $500 of annual dividends -- taxing all but 10 percent of any extra dividends at full income tax rates. ...
- But the only way to do that is to start with the incredible assumption that people will hold the same shares of dividend-paying stocks in taxable accounts if dividends are taxed at 15 percent to 20 percent as they did when dividends were taxed at 39. ...
- In reality, a 15 percent to 20 percent dividend tax is likely to cost the government nothing because the Treasury would quickly find itself with many more dividends to tax. ...
- Distribution tables based on who reported dividend income when dividends were taxed at rates up to 39. ...
- To create distribution tables pretending to show what might happen to just dividends alone -- by assuming that the entire mix of taxable and tax-exempt assets is unaffected by tax rates -- is to engage in a bookkeeping fraud of Enron-like proportions. ...
- If 86 percent of investors choose to collect less than $500 in dividends, that just proves the dividend tax is prohibitively high. What the Senate Finance plan says to investors -- loud and clear -- is you would be foolish to put too much into taxable securities that pay dividends. ... This scheme also tells more serious investors to continue favoring companies that retain earnings over those that pay dividends. And that tells corporations like Enron and WorldCom to skip dividends and instead use spare cash and risky debts to make bad investments in snatching-up companies they cannot prudently manage. ...
- What was truly foolish was an earlier pie-in-the-sky plan from Grassley's committee to gradually reduce the tax on dividends to zero in 2005 only to bump it back up to 35 percent the following year. Investors would then want companies to delay paying dividends until the one year in which dividends caught the big break. ...
- Among several potentially marvelous ways of dealing with dividend taxation, the Senate Finance Committee's antiquated gesture of excluding a portion of dividends and then overtaxing the rest holds no promise at all. ...
