White House adviser Deese says Biden aims to equalize treatment of ordinary income and capital gains for top earners

Comments from White House adviser Brian Deese

• Deese confirms Biden will propose changes to capital gains tax for those who make more than $1 million
• Deese says change will only affect 0.3% of taxpayers
• Plan to treat capital gains as wages for top earners
• There is no evidence of a significant impact of capital gains rates on long term investment

A headline crossed that said Biden aims to equalize the treatment of gains and income but I believe it was in context. So the change is only on earnings above $1m.
