i'm sorry, let's have congress change the law because you want to quibble over what you call your income?

More Congress is working in its best interest:

To borrow money on the credit of the United States;
To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes;
To establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States;
To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures;
To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States;

What more are you seeking?
Congress has every power to fix the problems with capitalism, but constitutionally won't.
Law is theirs to define, and amend.

Do you want to fix Congress’s constitutional power to legislate commerce&trade, or are you here to lick their shoes?

Not even close.

Why do you need capitalism?
