[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is a stupid as*****. 13% and he thinks he paid his fair share. [/quote]

Are you retarded?  The tax rate of investment income is 15% for all US citizens.  Why would anyone pay more than their fair share?[/quote]

Yeah but in his case, his actual income is also taxed at 15% because he got paid in carried interest, which is not an investment.  And there are people who think a 15% rate on investment gains is a giveaway to people with wealth.  If you want to make the argument that it stimulates investment, show the proof because there is a strong case to be made that it does very little to increase investment.[/quote]

So he should volunteer to pay above the set rate?  And I'm not making any argument, it is what it is and he's playing by the rules.[/quote]No but the people deserve to know what stake he has in tax policy since he will be setting it. If we are on a national discussion about what is fair then they should know where he fits.

And lastly we really don't know that he has been playing by the rules. We don't know whether he has trust money in foreign banks or other tax dodges. [/quote]
