Capital gains rates should go back up towards where they were under Reagan (R). Don't most all conservatives say we lived in an economic wonderland back then?

Fact check: Would Obama’s tax rates be less than Reagan’s? – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com BlogsBut for those making more than $1 million — there were 236,883 such households in 2009 — I would raise rates immediately on taxable income in excess of $1 million, including, of course, dividends and capital gains. And for those who make $10 million or more — there were 8,274 in 2009 — I would suggest an additional increase in rate.
My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress. It’s time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice.
Deese also cites Obama's proposed capital gains rate of 20 percent for families earning over $250,000. That would be lower than the 28 percent capital gains rate Reagan signed into law in 1986.
