Blackstone CEO
Made $7.7 Billion today. Earned $650 mil last year. Pays only 15% tax while the rest of us pay around 30%. The tax laws make it so that these LBO firm executives don't have to pay more if money is earned from the stock market (ABC news). This encourages people to invest more in the stock market. Buy companies, cut jobs, flip, and make billions. The Iraq war will cost 1 trillion dollars and some of the uber rich gets a big tax break.
