Re: "I like the carried interest part." That was the most interesting thing of all to me... that nearly exactly 3/4 of his income last year benefited from that ridiculous special interest tax carve-out, that loophole. My personal opinion is that we should reform our tax laws so that we have one single FLAT tax rate for everyone, and that ALL INCOME, (regardless of it's source), should be taxed at that same flat rate without any special interest loopholes*. (So of course this special loophole should go bye-bye... along with all the others.) The government should not be, (in effect, by way of the tax codes), saying that one man's work is more valuable than any other man's work. They should not tilt the economic playing field to benefit the well-connected special interests.
