  LTCG means that I can 15% or 20% (depending on income) on selling stock even if I’m otherwise in a high tax bracket. Why should I get to have a massive tax break just because I already have a lot of income? There’s nothing special about my income from stock vs. my income from employment other than I work a hell of a lot harder for my income from employment than I do my income from stock.

  The other thing to get rid of is long term capital gains taxes and just tax capital gains as regular income.

  TIL - interesting language… even the article goes on to call it a cap multiple times even thought he official title is what you listed. Thanks for sharing!

  We’re talking about a cap and not a base, but yeah… remove the cap and everything gets better.

  Survivor bias… they incorrectly believe that because they lived that there was no actual danger. Truly, the selfish and self-absorbed generation. :(
