Yeah, I dislike the simplification that brings it down to just two sets of brackets. It really just needs to be an easily tuneable continuous function of profits and time. If you make a fuckton of profit, you'll pay a fuckton of tax. If you wait longer, you pay less tax. If the profit is small enough, guess what? No tax. So the middle class day traders wont lose their ass and they can have some fun. But the whales are going to have to fear Captain Tax Man Ahab, regardless of if they wait 6 months or not.

But I dont make the laws. Wallstreet does.
