I thought that name looked familiar ...

3. Yeah, that carried interest is hopefully getting to be better known

given that some of Romney's income was taxed that way in addition to dividends also taxed at a low rate.

The truth is that Boston is a major financial district, and it's no accident that Kerry wasn't in a rush to close that loophole. I'm sort of done with the issue in terms of Kerry. He's dead wrong on it, and is beholden to special interests in Mass. on it. No other explanation works for me. I remember he also said the loophole should only be closed if it is done in the context of major tax reform. Well, I don't think that will happen. Here in deep red Georgia ruled completely by Republicans, they had a commission and were determined to pass sweeping tax reform. Well, it didn't happen -- they all chickened out, and it was revenue neutral and did the things Republicans supposedly wanted. But they couldn't do it.

Okay, so totally OT. I'm not going to do new posts on this issue, only that this is a part of the Senator's record he should not be proud of.
