Since MOST of my life was spent actually "working" HARD from the age of 13, I can't help but feel there's something NOT right about my Wife getting hit harder tax wise than I am for what we are both contributing to society at this time. If you tax capital gains more heavily it inhibits capital formation and therefore eliminates job. Surely, you aren't suggesting that is a good thing.

RMF, > I just did my taxes the other day and I mentioned to my Wife that she's really dragging us down on taxes cause she's paying this higher rate because she's ONLY a school teacher and I have to grind my days away finding stocks to buy. I doubt your wife, who works as a teacher, gets taxed at a higher rate than my wife and I. Unless your wife makes a lot more than the usual teacher makes. By the way, how do liberals treat the success of me and my wife? By calling us the "exception" and taxing us as if we live like the rich and famous. My wife is even considering changing her career to one that pays less than half of what she currently makes. The reasons are mainly personal, but I half-joked that with the amount "rich" people like us get taxed, we won't be losing much in terms of real income. Now you tell me. What makes the tax "unfair" for your wife, but "fair" for me and my wife? Tenchusatsu
