And going from 15% to zero for lower income brackets is, in my mind, what propped up the market after the tech bubble burst. Older folks in lower tax brackets likely looked at equities for income seeing the gains were possibly tax free whereas bond income was taxed as income. No one ever brings that up.
And you damn well bet higher income people will dump stocks and pay the lower gains rate now. However the drop in the market would be short lived as they would likely buy the stocks back after 30 days (to avoid wash sales). They need the equities for growth.
Killing the animal is only part of the process. Hunters kill, dress, break down animals all the time. Clancy the cow is not the same as fluffy the cat.
I would love to process meat. Butchering was one of my favorite activities when I worked in kitchens.
