WE'RE DOOMED! Quick, raise taxes on the rich (that means you)...
Actually, I just got the tax data from the U.S. government through 2002, and capital gains are about half what they were in 2000, and taxes paid on cap. gains are about half. The best thing we could do right now is to cut cap gains taxes, and we could, over 5 years, bring in about $1 trillion to the treasury.
