Capital gains come from money that has already been taxed, so a lower rate is fair, but the big picture is that stimulating investment is good for everybody and especially so for those who need employment. * * *

A person with an adjusted gross income under $200,000. will pay zero taxes on any dividend or capital gain realization. This is fair...........the money was already taxed in the form of "income tax" when it was earned before it was invested in the market. Just as.............for example............the deductions I take as a small business person are simple, this is easy to understand. You should talk to Mitt Romney if........as an investor risking it all to make a profit.........you think you should get some sort of government compensation. BTW if you wait until full retirement age before collecting SS you can earn as much money as you want without being penalized.
