The influential investors are looking for movement, not stability. If things are too stable, they will break something so they can vacuum up the wealth of little investors. It has always been this way.
Taxing dividends but not capital gains has the same effect. It encourages destruction of corporations, like stealing heirloom silver and melting it down.
A little bit of predatory practice keeps things stable, but too much just makes the wrong people rich, and stifles creation.
