The Common Sense Fix ...by Dave Ramsey
....< good post snipped for brevity>...
A Capital Gains tax of zero might start a run on the banks as people rush
to get their money out of the bank and into the market. 10% would be
better, but I like this line of thinking.
Good point, Lon. How about 10% now, and incrementally decreasing amounts
over some point in time--like another 1/2% reduction every 4-months. That
makes those with cash, have to wait to see what happens...and then they'll
be falling all over each other trying to snap up bargains...
