You said economists are in agreement on this issue. I showed a prominent economists who isn't. I'm sure I can easily find others. You said that capital gains taxes have terrible consequences, but one of my links shows the history of capital gains taxes in the US, they used to be higher, and terrible things weren't happening. Your last comment is largely an ad hominem. Consumption taxes are typically regressive. Edit: your last link did not say what you said it said. It did not say to replace capital gains taxes with a consumption tax. It didn't mention capital gains at all.
