Say you had $200k laying around and wanted to invest it in this website. After 5 years, you project this website would be worth $5,000,000 more if you made this investment, which would cause you to sell it for a $4,800,000 taxable capital gain.

I have 2 scenarios.

1) would you make this investment if the tax rate were the current capital gains rate of 23.8%?

2) imagine capital gains are taxed as ordinary income and your are taxes at 39.6%. Would you make this investment?
