What's wrong with this picture? |
|
Hedge fund managers make billions but pay lower tax rates than teachers. Hard to believe, right? Congress is considering fixing the loophole, but Wall Street is pushing back hard.http://www.moveon.org/

5. For starters, cops, teachers and firefighters should be making more than that. |
|
Nothing against a doctor making that much. That tax rate for the hedge fund managers is just twisted.

6. hedge fund managers NEED the incentive of a low 15% tax rate, otherwise |
|
they'd say "who needs all those millions" and just become teachers or firefighters or something far less valuable to society like that.
can't have that!
