NYSE Chief Opposes Tax Change on Dividends
Keith Funston told the House Ways and Means Committee that eliminating the dividend tax break would curb investment and growth. He urged Congress to raise the $50 exclusion to $100 and boost the 4 percent credit to 10 percent, arguing this would relieve many shareholders from double taxation and spur equity capital, productivity, and jobs.
