so how many share holder meetings have you chaired trying to save a company from going bust?

You've got a large number of logical fallacies in your comment.

Comparing your experience chairing shareholder meetings to tax policy is apples and oranges. Specifically, that because you've chaired a shareholder meeting, this somehow makes you an expert on the efficacy and outcome of changes to the tax code.

The theory of "investment fleeing" due to capital gain tax increases is, frankly, not proven by the data. We've had an increase in the capital gains taxes under Obama (2014) - yet investment continued across private equity, venture and general investment.
