There is a lot of rumbling that the Bush Tax Cuts are soon to be a thing of the past. At the top of the list is the current Capital Gains Tax Rate of 15%. Following is the history of that tax according to the AP/ October 3, 2012, 3:15 PM :
Select changes in the top statutory tax rate on long-term capital gains in recent decades:
1942-67: 25 percent
1976: 39.9 percent
1979: 28 percent
1982: 20 percent
1987: 28 percent
1997: 20 percent
