Actually, that's kind of the way our federal tax system works today, or at least we're halfway there. Capital gains on the business you've implied are only 24%, and way less than that if it's QSBS eligible. That's why Warren Buffet pays a lower tax rate than his secretary.
I leave it to others to opine on whether this is appropriate.
