Consumption and use taxes are preferred to taxes on productive capital/savings.

 @9SGS2K2 from Kansas  answered…4mos4MO

Yes, but only after a certain amount such as $1 million. Middle class Americans who's savings are tired up in stocks via 401(k)s should have not their retirement taxed to oblivion but the ultra wealthy should pay a high capital gains tax.

We should ensure fairness, support the needs of the "least of these," and encourage the wealthy to use their resources in ways that benefit the wider community. This could involve a nuanced perspective that acknowledges the importance of supporting both the vulnerable in society and the health of the economy as a whole, perhaps suggesting that those with more resources have a greater responsibility to contribute to the welfare of all.

Capital gains should be taxed separately from traditional income, however, it needs to be increased proportional to an individuals investment.
