It's not that people are blurring the distinction between "earned income" and "capital gains income", it's that people are commenting about paying a sub-15% tax rate on their income, regardless of how it is categorized.
Taxes are taxes, whether I write a check to the state of MA or to the IRS, just like income is income whether it was earned through dividends or a paycheck.
