The “Child Tax Credit” will be cut in half.

The “Death Tax” will reset to up to 55% and the exclusion will return to $1,000,000 per person.

The Capital Gains tax rate will rise from 15% to 20% and the Dividends will be taxed at your Ordinary Income rate, instead of 15%. Both of these will rise another 3.8% in 2013.

There are many more taxes that are going up and deductions that are going down.

I'm am certain this is having an impact on stocks.
