Republicans' Tax Plan Takes a Quirky Swipe at the Little Guys By Lawrence Kudlow & Stephen Moore
Republicans are supposed to be the party that cuts the job-killing capital gains tax, not raises it. But because of a quirk in the Senate-passed tax bill, the tax on capital gains may go up -- and for some types of long-held assets, fairly substantially.
