I will probably never live long enough for me to understand why politicians think raising the capital gain tax rates would actually increase tax revenues. An increase in capital gain tax rates actually reduces the number of transactions so that there are also fewer brokers commissions, fewer escrow fees, fewer title insurance premiums, and so on. The net tax revenue loss is impossible to calculate accurately, but it certainly does not help the economy! We should cover this on the radio next month when you join us back in studio again! Hope all is well. Hi Dawn,
