Also, if you believe that Republicans will be successful repealing Obamacare, we are on the verge of a massive tax cut--a 3.8% reduction in capital gains and another 0.9% on incomes above ~$200K. Of course, to take advantage of these particular cuts, you'll need a lot of capital gains (i.e. you'll need to be rich).

I'm sure there are more, but these are just off the top of my head.
