Dear Hedge Fund Managers: Pay Your Freakin' taxes! |
|
According to what Chris Hayes just said on "The Last Word," the top hedge fund managers collectively made $22 billion last year, and paid taxes at a rate of just 15% because that income is considered "capital gains" and taxed at that rate. How many of the rest of us can say that? :grr:

1. Most is capital gains but I suspect |
|
some is dividend and interest income. Unless they are dodging taxes, they are paying their taxes. Unless you have evidence to the contrary, this post is just hyperbole.
