Probably not...the benfits from paying tax are the services and programs the government provides. The number of high income taxpayers is small compared to the others, and they most certainly don't use the government services any more, and probably less, than the others. Approx. 3% of the people pay 95% of the taxes...and 45% pay nothing at all...and a very high percentage of those that don't pay actually get money back in the form of credits and such. Lots of great statistics at an unbiased sit: www.taxfoundation.org

If an individual has a capital loss in 2008 can he carry it back to a 2005 capital gain tax paid?

No. But you can use $3000 of the capital loss to offset current year ordinary income and then carry the rest forward. Be sure to fill out the capital loss carryover worksheet in the Schedule D instructions before you enter a carryover from the previous year. The carryover rules are some of the most confusing for taxpayers and taxpayers cheat themselves out of a lot of carryover. Don't assume you know the right amount to carry over. Use the worksheet.
