No, increasing the capital gains tax will limit investment in our economy

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and increase to the average U.S. tax rate (31.5%)

Republicans generally oppose increasing taxes, especially on investments. They believe that raising the capital gains tax rate to the average U.S. tax rate would discourage investment and hinder economic growth. Historically, Republican-led tax reforms, such as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, have aimed to lower taxes rather than increase them.
