No, no, we meant tax THOSE rich people! December 8, 2012 10:19 am TB

Washington Post (endorsed Obama) rushes to pay dividends before capital gains tax goes up.

They’re far from the only company doing this.

Bonus:

The Washington Post’s dividend payment also stands to benefit those with a significant stake in the company, such as Warren Buffett’s firm Berkshire Hathaway. Berkshire is its largest shareholder with an estimated 1.7 million shares, which means it could get a roughly $17 million dividend payment.
