Today’s graphic offers a complete guide to where each presidential candidate stands on their proposals to change our tax structure.

Hillary Clinton proposes a possible steep increase in the capital gains tax. Her idea on giving tax credits to companies who offer profit-sharing, or apprenticeships is very interesting.
Bernie Sanders wants to hike the estate tax for the extremely wealthy. I don’t plan on making a billion dollars anytime soon, so this one is in my favor.

This could lead to a rise in cryptocurrency popularity in order to skirt the tax.
