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.
In one day he will pay more in taxes than you, your father, your grandfather, your children, your children's children,children's children's children will pay in their entire lifetimes combined.

Should we assume your gratitude to this man goes without words?
