"Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining"----Fletcher in The Outlaw Josey Wales
I have never been a fan of someone paying a lower tax rate on unearned income than they do on earned income. For example Mitt Romney paying 20% on 47 million one year when I paid nearly that same percentage on substancally less earned money. The top economically continue to grow their percentage of wealth towards threatening levels like those that existed before the stock market crash/great depression. IMO they can pay the same rate as they do or rather should on earned income.
Notice the 20% is set at a level which only benefits people with a lot of unearned income?
Stop it. Richard... Richard... Richard.... I know that we out here in flyover country don't mean a hill of beans to y'all there in DC; but it really is amazing to me that you can't realize that a huge (big) percentage of people that voted for Joe did so b/c they were tired of Trump's tweets and personality - not his policies. Yes, I know it sells well in the coffeeshops in Chicago and DC and NY and LA; but in the real parts of the country alot of people voted as I said. I know that b/c I've talked to a ton of people that switched. I've read scores of articles on it - and your party and the media focused on it in the run-up to the election. And, no, they don't blame Trump for the pandemic response - as much as you tried.
So, as you guys burn down the country, I sleep with a smile on my facing know At Least There's No More Mean Tweets...

What is unearned income? Are you referring to capital gains? If so, calling it unearned income is a misnomer.
When you invest your money you can lose, even it all. It is risky. Long term capital gains are taxed at a lower rate to encourage people to accept that risk.
I took $10K of my own money to invest myself outside of my financial advisor. It turned into $0 dollars inside of two years.
