To the OP (and anyone else): Do you honestly believe that there are rich people who would willingly forgo tax breaks at 35%, but would start looking for them when the top marginal rate hit 39.6%. Same question for capital gains: How many rich people are going to forgo investments in equities when the cap gains rate goes from 15 to 20% (still half the rate of taxation on ordinary income).
If you believe either, you either have no clue about human behavior, taxation or investment strategies.
