Capital gains are the profits earned from the the sale of stocks, bonds and properties. Investment managers pay a 15 to 20 percent capital gains tax on profits earned from their customers’ holdings. Supporters of the increase argue that capital gains should be taxed like any other income and should be raised to at least 31.5% (the average U.S. tax rate). Opponents of an increase argue that taxing capital gains will discourage investments in the U.S. economy and prohibit growth.

Depends on the income bracket of the investor, keeping it low or at zero for low income investors encourages investment in local business and increases the ability of businesses to employ more people.
@95LW6MM1wk
Yes, and the stock market should be abolished and company stocks should be owned by their workers with payouts to encourage workers to become invested in caring for their workplace.

No should reorganized and reform and reconstruct tax rate system
No, not until the government balances it's budget and learns to live within it's means.
@95B37Y82wks
business, investment and financial assets should get long term capital gains only after 10 year holding period. That should end at any tax payer with an 5 year average gross income above $5 million. Tax rates should be fixed at one rate and the exemptions raised to $25,000 per taxpayer and dependents.
