Specifically long term investment, which is why you only get the benefit of lower taxes after a year.

And we need to reward this behavior SO MUCH that we'll drop more than half of the taxes?

People will invest as long as the taxes aren't worse than income taxes. We don't need this much "encouragement" because stock market returns are high enough already.
