Default Re: Non-mainstream ideas you would implement if President
Currently in the US, capital gains on instruments held less than one year are taxed at the same rate as your other income, dependent on your tax bracket, while long-term gains > one year are taxed only 15%, the same as dividends. I would assume he meant he would reduce the 15% rate to 0.
