    The long term capital gains rate is the rate at which your money making money gets taxed. When you get qualified dividends or sell for a capital gain that money is taxed differently than normal income. for the 10-15% tax bracket the capital gains rate is 0%, which is awesome. For the 25-35% tax bracket capital gains is 15% and from the 39.6 bracket and on it is 20% which is lower on every bracket. Capital gains is a good way to have your money grow due to the money being taxed less and you get it passively which is easier than earned income because all you have to do is watch your money grow. You should care because long term capital gains is something you should try to get compared to short term capital gains which is taxed like normal income.
