OFten invested money is tied up for a long time before it shows a profit. In the mean time, its value declines due to inflation. If you want to tax capital gains, then at least index it for inflation so that you aren't taxing people for money they didn't really make.

I too resent the notion that investment is unearned. I spend a lot of time and effort in to figuring out how to invest my money to achieve a good return. One should be able to deduct the time and money directly against the profit as any other business does.
