Follow up question - would stocks have the same affect as gambling in this situation?
Situation A: Guy making $100k salary. no stock market actives.
His taxable income will be $86,000
Situation B: Guy making $100k salary. stock market profits $20k on one stock and loses $20k on another stock in a year.
His taxable income will be $86k or $100K?
seems they should be treated the same way if they aren't either way a zero net gain shouldn't change your taxable income

We can logically deduce that the federal government is more likely to incentivize/subsidize capital investments (stocks, bonds, private equity, real estate) than outright gambling.

No. Netted before being included in income.
