cap gains should be taxed as income just like earning money working.

Cap losses represent "innapropriate" investment, and should not be advocated though risk reduction mechanisms of tax deduction.

I don't see the logic of supporting deductions because gains are taxable.

an easy way would be to allow carry-back of losses. A lot of people who paid high taxes a year or two ago should be rebated.
