Do you own a business? A person who opens a business takes a huge risk. A person who fishes for a living takes a huge risk. A barber takes a risk. A contractor, plug builder, etc etc. In fact, the risk to them might be infinitely higher than for a person who has 100,000,000 net worth and invest 50 million. They can afford that risk. The argument that investment through the market warrants different rates than earned income is arguable.
