Long term capital gains tax for Manhattan workers

I've spoken with numerous financially savvy people in past few months who think the long term capital gains in New York are ""somewhere 15% to 20%?".

It's actually 31%-33%. If you had significant gains in, say, a company's stock, and you have a high active income, you're going to get CRUSHED when you sell.

For a 400k annual active income earner your effective long term capital gains tax is 33.64%.

For rich trust fund people who don't work and earn W2 income, they pay 22.45%. But of course they wouldn't be dumb enough to declare Manhattan as their home base, they'd be in Miami, Florida where the long term capital gains tax is 12.75%.

Life isn't fair. don't be mad. But don't be dumb and sell your stock thinking it's a tax efficient diversification strategy. **Take a year off work, move to Miami, and dump it there.

**I'm not sure if the feds let you do this, if you earned it in NYC, they might still tax you as if you were in NYC when you sell it?

This article explains how to get anything for free on Ebay. This is very simple, proven and guaranteed to work.

Just tell ebay you never received the item. They will always side with you (bhe buyer) and refund your money, including shipping, AT THE SELLER'S EXPENSE. There is nothing the seller can do. Ebay will not investigate further, they close the case.  I have hard numerous reports of this happening.  See this facebook thread  and this article . The buyer now has no item, no money, and in addition he is out the cost of shipping. Totally screwed. 2. If you are dealing with a savvy seller, they will use delivery confirmation. Don't worry, you can still get your item for free. After you receive the item, open a case and claim the item broken. Let's use an IPhone 4 as an example. Open a claim and say the medi
