Plan B Forum

That is the essential question posed by the difference between income tax -- tax on income which people work to earn -- and capital-gains income -- income which people merely collect.

All income should be taxed at the same rate. Having a lower capital gains rate only enriches the wealthy and impoverishes the working classes.
