Why couldn't you write a rule specifically for that? E.g. if it's your own capital, it's the capital gains rate, if it's somebody else's capital it's income.

of course, you can. If you can pass laws, but in the US it's very hard to pass law these days. Ergo, all the fighting over Supreme Court appointees.

We did get a change to the tax law during Trump's administration, so it's not totally impossible.
