The top 25 hedge fund earners took in $22.07 billion in 2010. Thanks to a generous tax loophole these billionaires will pay a top tax rate of 15 percent instead of 35 percent. Closing that loophole on just those 25 individuals – just 25 guys who wouldn’t miss a penny of it -- would raise $4.4 billion, which is enough to rehire 126,000 laid-off teachers

The wealth disparity in the States is starting to depress me. The fact that we're PROTECTING these guys (who come up with more and more diverse ways to lie, cheat, and steal) and SCREWING the poor is also very, very depressing.

It is depressing. Let them make money. But close the loop holes.
