    I, too, have an opinion on the capital gains tax. It should be taxed at the same rate as income. We can let them keep the exception on the first half million in profit because I’m feeling nice today.

      It’s actually higher in many scenarios.

      What needs to be taxed like income is loans against the stocks

        Oh yeah that’s right. I forgot about Buy, Borrow, Die.

        I agree, though I’d have to do something thinking about the exact right way to implement a tax on that kind of behavior.
