Nice summary. Of course we agree.

RE:"* decrease the capital gains tax depending on how long an asset is held--this will at least partly incentivize long-term investment"

Well as of Jan1 you only pay 18% capital gains (instead of 20%) on securities held 5 years or more.
Of course this is no where enough of a break considering what flipping real estate can save you. Until this inequity to changed it's hard for me to see Stocks becoming any kind of investment of choice. Not to mention no faith in management.

RE:"* expense stock options properly"

That would definitely help confidence. I do hear rumbling about how this would drive stock prices lower. That could be screams from insiders losing their money grab.
