Thanks. I am very passionate about matters of taxation. I see so many posters on boards asking why someone like Romney pays 15% tax and they pay a higher rate. Rarely does someone allude to the fact that capital is what provides the jobs this country depends on. Capital supplies business interests and those business interest provide tax paying jobs. If someone uses capital that has already been taxed once as ordinary income it boggles my mind that they dont understand why it recieves a favorable rate once it is used for investment.
