This year I am not pleased because I am going to have to take a sizable amount of money out of one of my investment accounts to pay taxes this year. The money that I take out to pay taxes will be taxable next year. So I not only will lose the dividends on the money I have to take out to pay taxes but then have to pay taxes on the money next year that I pay taxes with this year.

Something just seems wrong with that picture.
