    Um...the question is Why is physical work taxed at a higher rate than non-work (capital gains)?

    That kind of sounds to me like he knows that capital gains are taxed at a lower rate.

    Unless the rules of grammar have changed in the past ten minutes.

    It is taxed lower because the people who made the law made a lot of money on investments and so did their supporters. There is no good justification in it, people would invest at the same rate if they were still going to make money.

    Yes, of course. Why would anyone, liberal or conservative, not invest in the stock market?

    Liberals invest mainly in tech stocks which they have the ability to understand. After liberals create all the new companies, they usually invest in them, yes. Liberals do understand what the rates of capital gains vs, earned income are. Would you like to know?

    Yes I do and yes and I believe he does know. He's asking why that makes sense. Why tax income over wealth?
