Because capital gains and income are two totally different things.

To more people than you can imagine, capital gains are their job/income.

First, has anyone asked why we even need to increase taxes? The federal government has more than enough money. They launder a healthy percentage of it to enrich themselves and waste most of rest. The absolute last thing we need to do is give these crooks another dime. People who parrot the “fair share” narrative are brain dead.

I think we can worry about both government spending and tax policy. It hurts the system by giving some tax advantages that others do not get. It creates a reward system for politicians and their cronies. Everyone should pay a similar amount based on THEIR income. However it is they choose to make their income.
