Not interested in reading the article today are we?
Lot of posters been ranting for months over articles they never bothered to read. You know, reading may cause them to find out stuff that's uncomfortable with their emotional attachments.
I tried to stick with this condescending piece but could not. He, like others is trying to make a simple issue, complex. Home builders, coin dealers, etc. pay the labor rate rate when they do a development or sell off. Hedgies pay the capital gains rate even though, since it’s their business, it should be the labor rate. They have that ruling because of campaign contributions. It is government picking winners and losers and obvious crony capitalism. What conservative could support that? I don’t want anyone paying higher taxes but when I look at what hedgies have earned off of me and pay at the cap gains rate when in the same business I pay at the labor rate, I’m pissed about it.
