Taxing capital gains is fair because it is INCOME just like wages are income.
If we are going to hail investors as people who make things happen in the economy by enabling businesses to create jobs, we need to recognize that the gain they make from those investments are income earned from taking a chance on the investment.
Just like the rest of the income tax rates, though, it should be low and FIXED and the same for everybody regardless of how much money they make. Most importantly, it must be permanent so that the economy can get on with the process of planning what they are going to do and how many people they are likely to hire.
Taxing dividends does *not* make sense because they are shared company profits that have already been taxed at the corporate level. If you did away with the corporate income tax, taxing dividends would then be fair.

Sophistry.
Your boss pays taxes. Your boss pays you. You pay taxes. Clearly this is double taxation and you should be exempt. That's your logic applied to benefit the working class. The Republicons have a lot of seemingly logical reasons the wealthy should get tax breaks but try to give one to the workers and you get a tea party tantrum.
Dividends are INCOME. Corporations are formed for a lot of reasons, one of which is to handle taxes. Don't like the fall out - buy back your corporation and run it as a privately owned. There is a reason people choose to form corporations and it isn't because corporations are oppressed. Corporations want to have their cake and shove it up our asses too.

Nope. Dividends are profit AFTER taxes.
The money the boss pays me is an operating expense to him that he does NOT pay tax on, therefore, I have to pay tax on it.

The Oatmeal Butterscotch paired with a Snickerdoodle
turned my cynical penis into a happy vagina
Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.
