[quote=afx114]Are there a lot of people making less than $250k/year who make a lot of money from capital gains?[/quote]
Don’t know. Probably not in 2008…If fact, folks that had capital gains to report probably should be taxed higher (just kidding).
But I was referring to dividend income. That’s as passive as income is going to be. And with the right planning, dividend income could account for some non-trivial income.
