Macroeconomics question...Help me

Question

Why would Democrats oppose a capital-gains tax cut that might invigorate a stalled economy?

Answer 1

I can't for the life of me understand the reason why. In Economic terms it makes no sense. However the Democrats may be hitting the millionaires club which is not their traditional voter base anyway.

Answer 2

Because most Democrats are economic illiterates who think that businesses are evil and that government is the solution to every ill.
