Capital Gains Tax

CGT is a tax levied on the profit when individuals (except Angela Rayner MP) sell an asset.
That Angela Rayner, I've heard she's a big Maggie Thatcher fan, being particularly impressed with Maggie's 1980 Housing Act, which enabled council house tenants to buy (and sell) their council house. Hang on, I hear Rayner has not only broken electoral law by saying she is registered as living at said council house, but is in fact living down the road with husband and kids. She has also failed to pay capital gains tax on the profit made when she sold the council house.
On well, good on her! Hold on a minute, what's her role in the current Labour government - Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government - NO !!!!! You've got to be pulling my plonker!

Capital A

An inordinately American person, a "Capital A American". Usually used in a derogatory manner.

If you meet one outside the US, you might think they're doing a grotesque, almost offensive caricature of Americans, but no, turns out some yanks really are like that.
- I met Keithrynnn yesterday, she wouldn't shut up about her therapist
- Come on man, that's not cool, there's nothing wrong with going to therapy
- I know, but she kept saying these things that most children already know, as if they require some kind of deep thought and understanding...
- Oh, is she American?
- Yeah, a real Capital A

grab capitalism by the balls

(as a pun variation on the Ford F-150 commercial punch line 'grab life by the horns'), this is one of the many possible English translations of the Latin phrase carpe diem.
as to who may have first used the expression grab capitalism by the balls to translate the Latin phrase carpe diem, IMHO as a history major, I would probably have to say it would have been the 'founders' of modern Western WASP capitalism, people like Thomas Jefferson, John Locke and Thomas Hobbes.
