If we want to build things we need capital investment and a reward for risking capital.




This reply is a complete non sequitur. Taxing capital gains as ordinary income does not mean the removal of a "reward for risking capital" because the potential upside is still unlimited compared to working a wage job.

Yes. And that reward should be called "profits" delivered as dividends.

We need labor more, and labor investment always involves substantially more risk for that person, than any capital investment ever carries.
