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.

Capital gains should be taxed progressively with a higher top marginal tax rate and more distinction between incomes (e.g. a very high rate for those selling $1 million +).

Capital gains should be taxed progressively with a higher top marginal tax rate and more distinction between incomes (e.g. a very high rate for those selling $2 million +). Capital gains should stay the same or be lowered for the lowest quintiles in order to encourage retirement savings.

If you are in a certain tax bracket you should have to pay more for the vast wealth that can be accumulated. Those who are saving for retirement, should not have the same tax rate as the super-wealthy.
