> We should shift more of the tax burden onto capital, including by raising the capital gains tax, probably to the same level as taxes on labor.<p>Where I live (Finland) capital gains tax is 30% if the gains are less than 30,000 EUR/year and 34% from above. I think it's completely fair. I get most of my income from capital gains, btw.
