In other words, you want to raise the tax rate on capital gains. What has past experience taught us about what happens when you raise the tax on capital gains? Permit me to answer for you. You have absolutely no idea. Much less do you know that it would raise less taxes and hurt the economy and everyone who depends on it. As it is, we have one of the highest rates in the developed world. Many countries have the rate at zero. This may come as a surprise to you, but "what you expect" is not a good basis for making economic decisions. In this age of the internet and Google, there is no reason for remaining ignorant unless you choose to do so. It's not that difficult. Far to many people take that option, however, and push politicians to make stupid decisions.
