i think that we should stop taxing capital gains and dividends differently from earned income that way we can raise revenue without raising the nominal income tax rate at all

Are there any reasonable arguments against this?


Yes, the tax break is to encourage investment, which spurs the economy and results in job growth. There is a higher multiplier effect on investment versus consumption in regards to GDP growth.
