The real issue is that Obama wants to raise capital gains taxes from 15% to 20%? Remember that when you hear people complain about how unfair it is and how the wealthy already pay more than their share. They're paying 15% while you're paying 33%+ by actually working. They're paying LESS and taxed LESS on their capital gains income than you are with earned income. The average American doesn't have a chance at making a living with capital gains and getting to keep more of his money. They're working hard as it is to come up with enough to survive in a Bush economy, as banks fail, real estate busts, declining dollar, increase in gas and oil, etc...
