> If you organize your business as an S-corporation, you can classify some of your income as salary and some as a distribution. You'll still be liable for self-employment taxes on the salary portion of your income, but you'll just pay ordinary income tax on the distribution portion.

Distributions are not long term capital gains. The only real tax advantage is no FICA. It could be a lot if you aren't paying yourself much in wages, but I would be wary of the IRS disagreeing with your "market value wage" in that situation.
