I would support a cut in interest income rate tax (first x dollars for all) to encourage savings. I could accept raising cap gains tax by a few points to finance the first cut.
Heck, how many of us have cap gains in recent years? In retrospect, I would have loved to pay 25% rate on my 5 baggers in 2000. In 2000 at height of bubble I was thinking of stock tax rate (STUPID thought). I know several people who didnt sell houses in 2005-6 because they didnt want to pay taxes. Don’t let Tax rates cloud your judgement.

Sec Rice met with the nice dictator and may have discussed the 41.5 billion barrels of proven crude oil reserves in Libya, Africa’s largest. I wonder what the tax rates Rice (former board member at Chevron) will negotiate? Could be less than Alaska?
See, you cant keep raising taxes on us, we will just move our drills to other lands.http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=a0Z19_2IjobI&refer=home
