They do this in part because there is the potential for a big payday at the end, at an advantageous capital gains tax rate,\u201d Stewart wrote. \u201cIt will be harder for startups to recruit bc the tax system will punish their employees. A Googler making $400k\/yr for 10 years will pay less tax vs a startup employee making $100k\/year for 9 yrs, plus a $3m payday at year 10, despite the Googler earning more total income.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"15.302180685358\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Higher capital gains tax will also reduce incentives for landlords to build, buy, fix up, and\/or rent properties.
