Capital gains are the main reason the rich get richer in this country as the rate has been held very low compared to wages received for work. The argument it is an incentive for investment is a bit thin since there's still no better place to invest if you have the money, and people like Mitt making millions end up paying a lower percentage to taxes, which as far as I know is not considered a fair burden. But there are any number of studies predicting the world will end if the rate is increased to even the level or other income, plus the political will's not there to fight the well funded wonks that perpetuate that philosophy.
