Why Hillary Clinton is going after hedge funds
"Hillary Clinton's got a problem with hedge fund managers -- or at least with the way they're taxed.
The expected frontrunner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination is avoiding policy specifics for now, but the taxation of hedge fund managers -- an elite class of investors who will no doubt pour millions into Clinton's second White House bid -- has been an early exception.
"There's something wrong when hedge fund managers pay lower tax rates than nurses or the truckers that I saw on I-80 as I was driving here," Clinton told a small group of roundtable participants in Monticello, Iowa, this week."....
" We need to fix our dysfunctional political system and get unaccountable money out of it once and for all, even if that takes a constitutional amendment."....
Democratic talking points = Democrat talking points/Democratic Party talking points
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. There’s nothing wrong with wealth. There is something wrong with big donors to superPACs getting special treatment.
I’m sure Clinton wants to reshuffle the deck so that ‘Rat candidates get more of that money, if she’s serious about changing it at all. More than likely she’ll talk left and leave ‘em alone if she gets elected. Just like the GOPe...run conservative campaigns and keep the money coming once elected.
There is nothing anti-conservative about wanting a fair playing field and keeping a wary eye on “crony capitalism”.
It’s true that Trump may be no better than the Libs or GOPe when it comes to taking a place at the Wall Street trough if he gets elected. Maybe his billions aren’t enough and he wants more.
Still, there’s a chance he’s really serious about changing the game, and that’s more than you get with GOPe or ‘Rat.
