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.

1. There are so many things...
wrong with this picture.

IMHO, teachers should be making six figures.

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!
