"When you are an employee, you get a W2 salary. You're going to be paying these income taxes and payroll taxes. The top tax rate on your federal income tax is 37%. Plus, you have to pay an additional 6.2% 2% in payroll taxes. Plus, your employer also has to pay an additional 6.2% in payroll taxes. So, when you are a W2 employee, this is your top tax rate versus when you are an investor. Now, you're not paying these tax rates. You are paying this, the capital gains rates. And at the time of me recording this video, the top tax rate for your investment income is 20%."
