Capital Gains Tax has, on occasion, been described as a tax on successful people, most often by those who find their investment profits heavily taxed.
Investments involve putting in money you have already earned (and already had taxed), so finding your profits on your investment taxed again (at up to 28%) can be difficult to understand.
