ok, so raising the capital gains rate from 15% to "under 28%" sounds like almost doubling it to me.
if 95% of US workers have zero investments, well then I guess we're ok.

get it? I'll bet you don't.
If you don't raise some taxes on some people, how do you plan on paying off the debt? Already 10 trillion in debt with a couple trillion more on the books for bailouts.
