You pay capital gains taxes on the majority of gains made via investment.

This change is intended to prevent the abuse of Roth IRAs as a way to shield potentially enormous capital gains from taxation.

If that was true then they could simply cap the amount that was exempt from taxation.

I agree that this would be an alternate approach to tackling the issue, and to be honest, from what I've read so far, would be my preference.
