<< if your capital gains tax would be 28% on the sale of a stock, your next purchase would have to gain 28% just to break even>>

Two errors! The gain would have to be 100/72 = 38.89% ... but only if your basis were zero!

OTOH if you are up 100% the tax would be 28% (or 20%) on the gain from the sale of a stock, your next purchase would have to gain 100/86 = 16.3% (or 100/90 = 11.1%).
