Technically you don't really lose 25% off the top. You only lose
12.5%.

Consider $100 in gains. (Assume 50% tax bracket for both cases.)
For capital gains, you pay 50% of $75 or $37.5. Leaves you with
$62.5 dollars. If treated as income, you pay $50 which leaves
you with $50.

Therefore you only lose 12.5% by claiming it as income.

Buckey, if you can post the link to the taxes page that you have,
I'd sure appreciate it.

Cheers,
Rob
