How about leveling the playing field and taxing ALL income at the same rates instead of just “punishing” workers (especially W-2 slaves)?

Well, I’d argue that taxes on wages are too high, not that taxes on investment income is too low.
If unlike the majority of the wage slaves, I’ve been smart enough to set aside some money and invest it rather than spend myself into debt, why should I have to pay the government half of any return I make risking MY OWN MONEY?[/quote]
Kind of a straw man argument. No one has suggested half.
