RE:RE:Buy more?The main problem in my opinion is that the capital gain is a "Ballon Payment" meaining all the tax hits in the year of the sale. The gains may have taken 15 years to accrue. I believe you should be allowed to spread the gains over a number of years but not less than 5 years if the holding was 5 years or more. Why the tax all in the same year?
The increased tax rate will also force corporations the adjust their pricing for IPO's to a lower price/multiple to compensate for the increased taxes.
There is also the behavioral problem of being unwilling to sell an overpriced security to avoid the taxes.
Lots of other problems as well...
