Yes the Capitol Gains Tax is 20%. Dividend Tax is that or higher.
When I refer to double tax - I'm not talking about transactional changes of hand (corp to share holder, buyer to seller ....). I'm talking about a dollar coming from a source - stock dividens, being taxed .... then since that same dollar is income, taxed again as income - no transaction change.
I won't dispute that this is more to help Corp cronies though .... but there are people that do benefit besides corps ...
