So your plan would incentivize companies to locate/stay/start up in the US but dis-incentivize investing in the same? Capital gains used to be taxed like any other income. People still invested in the stock market. Granted, not at quite the same rate as now. But that was mainly because it was difficult to buy stocks unless you bought a lot or knew a broker. Taxes never entered the equation.
