The 0% Capital Gains Tax
This could prove to be a bountiful year for taxpayers who play their cards right. That's because 2008 is the year that an unbelievable 0% federal income tax rate on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends kicks in. This special rate only applies to gains and dividends that fall in the 10% or 15% regular income tax bracket. But even if your income is too high to personally cash in on the 0% rate, you may have children, grandchildren, or other loved ones who qualify. Here's how it works.

How wrong Forbes is. Charlotte is a wonderful place to live. Obviously no one from the magazine actually visited here.
If it's a miserable place to live.... then why is everyone smiling and so happy? I have not met one unhappy, miserable person since I moved here from snowy, wet, cloudy, cold, colder and coldest western PA.
The climate, if you can't tell, is just fine.
Come on down, ya'all.
