Actually it's not even that. Someone with a million dollars in investment income who has no wage income pays $0 FICA to begin with. That's why I stipulated 'payroll taxes.' Of course, Bush cut the taxes on dividend income, so your hypothetical investor not only doesn't pay FICA, she got an income tax decrease to boot. Does the fact that her dividend is simply her share of post income tax profits mean anything at all to you? |
