Hi!
Scott P, Halane's husband, here. We are living in Austria.
I am somewhat on the fence with this, but, also, I'm not an investor in companies and it doesn't directly affect me. but , in general, my view is that those who risk *their own* capital should benefit from a capital gains tax rate, while people who are taking management fees and risking *other people's* capital (such as VCs) should not gain the benefit and should pay normal income tax on that cash.
And, no, that won't be a driving factor on my absentee ballot.
