Capital gains is personal income. So yes, it almost certainly does. Additionally, that figure (much like Warren Buffer) understates what the rich pay - first the corporation they own pays taxes, then they pay taxes again when the profit is distributed to shareholders. It's a misrepresentation equivalent to claiming that middle class folks don't pay the employer portion of payroll taxes.
