Irrelevant. That basis is never taxed again anyway no matter what rate you use.

So you're saying money shouldn't be double-taxed? Then why are we double-taxed with Social Security, Medicare...and now...state and local income taxes? That's a double standard.

Invested money is risked money. Why be penalized for taking a risk?
