| halogamer1989 said: @final Sorry I was listening to a podcast. Anyway, I believe in low capital gains to spur economic growth even more. It's just my thought. edit: And I also think ppl should not have to pay more to diversify and not stick just to many long-term holdings. |
But why do you think that capital gains are a more worthy target of tax breaks (in the form of a lower rate) than people's actual income that they worked for?
[edit: And I'm not quite sure what you mean in your edit as it sounds to me like you're equating diversification with short-term investments. AFAIK they are not the same thing. If you want to argue for raising the long-term rate to equal the short-term rate, I would be open to your arguments, but that might punish people for inflation.]

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
