Actually capital gains are very good. If the capital gains are long term and based on the sale of investment securities, the maximum tax rate is only 20% whereas the max rate for ordinary income is almost 40%.

Last I knew it was 28% for anything held under 16mo and 20% over 16mo... I have a CPA to do all this crap for me because I do NOT want to fvck with the IRS.

Capital Gains SUCK BIG TIME.  Nothing worse then paying more tax on money you have already been taxed on.  

I hate seeing the 1099's come rolling in.

In 97 changed max Capital Gain to 20% assuming held more than one year, if it is held less than 1 year it is treated as ordinary income.
