I don't know the exact quote, by I assume he is talking about payroll taxes as well. In which case I am confident she probably has 32% of her paycheck deducted.
Back to topic:
While capital gains taxes are considered a cost to business, the fact is:
We can have no government without taxes. You know that large army your soo proud of, how do you think it is paid for?
You know that war in Iraq that you folks believe was an act of genius..
It costs money. In order to pay for your way you only have 2 choices.
I love how conservatives, think the $3billion/week sinkhole known as Iraq is totally awsome, but at the same time feel we should NOT pay for it.
Is it really so awful to raise capital gains taxes 5% to pay for your precious war?

P.S. Simpler solution = get out of Iraq.
