Clinton's low deficits were not based on capital gains taxes.

It's pretty easy to find out via Google how much capital gains taxes are paid each year. Here they are:

As you can see, the average capital gains taxes during the Clinton years were actually lower than the average capital gains taxes during the Bush years. And even the highest Clinton year (2000) was lower than the highest Bush year (2007).

lots of people who paid incredible amounts of capital gains taxes from 1995 to 2000.

much of which was offset by capital losses in later years.
