If you think someone should work for 30% of their pay you are not living in the real world
Again, when tax rates were 90%, the effective tax rate was 42%.
The people in the 38%(top tax bracket btw) aren't actually paying that. We know anyone taking pay in stock is paying 15%. CEO's and hedge fund managers shouldnt be paying 15%. Can we agree on that at least?
Can we all agree that for you to pay 15% on capital gains, that you should have to pay out of pocket for your principal investment, and it can't be compensation for work rendered?
That the 15% rate on capital gains, is actually for profits made on investment, and not bankster skimming, or executive tax dodging?
