So here's a question that could easily require some Excel or charts and graphs to answer.
Say you're sitting on a pile of stocks/etfs in your taxable account that's at the long term capital gains rate. Say you have no plans to sell it for 5-10 years. New law is passed that will tax CG as regular income.
Do you sell it, pay the 15% on your current gains, and re-invest to reset your cost basis?
