Why should investment income be taxed less than employment income?
Normally investing comes with risk, so investing in economic activity which provides a boost to your country should be encouraged as it drives GDP growth.
The problem is we setup a generation of investors in a safe bet (or a rigged game depending on how you look at it) and it wasn't driving economic activity which has resulted in very low increases in GDP despite increasing costs and competition.
The issue is what we've been investing in, not the discount.
If all that investment had been flowing into small businesses, generating jobs and economic activity, house prices wouldn't be fucked and wages would be high. We'd all own a house and be wealthier as a nation.
