    We do tax capital gains. It’s just at a lower rate than regular income and the first $50k or so is 0%. Some states tax capital gains as regular income.

    They do a shell game by using their losses to offset their gains.

    This would be something anyone could do but most people don’t have the ability to let stocks sit for over a year before taking the capitol loss strategically.

    The system is built for the wealthy to have less risk.
