The Ideal Capital Gains Tax Reform

Gerald E. Scorse, Truthout: 'Advocates of tax breaks on capital gains claim that investments in the stock market grow jobs and grow the economy. For all but a trace amount of the billions of shares that change hands every day, that s patently untrue. Almost none of the money that flows through Wall Street goes to companies or grows jobs; it simply grows portfolios. Except for the exceptions. Small companies with big dreams use initial public offerings (IPOs) to help make those dreams take root and flourish.'
