You are not addressing the argument that the article was highlighting. Equality in the tax laws is the issue. The wealthiest people in America are not paying their proper share of taxes; capital gains should be taxed as income liked they used to be just a few years ago.
This is America where our highest ideals are equality under the rule of law. The facade on the outside of the Supreme Court building reads: Equal Justice under Law. The very low tax rate on dividends, capital gains, and other financial items is this way from years of big money from wealthy donors and groups lobbying for special status. This is a kick in the face to the idea of equality under the law. Compared to the entire population of the USA, a small group of people are not being treated equal under the laws. They are being treated as a special privileged group. When it comes to rule of law in a democracy a privileged group is a serious problem that is as big a failure as a group that is being institutional discriminated against.

Romney’s yearly income is the amount of money that many people dream of getting by winning a state lottery . If you won the lottery, you would still have to pay more taxes on you winnings than what Romney paid on his income.
