On November 1, the House Ways and Means Committee approved a bill (H.R. 3996) that would close the tax loophole for “carried interest” earned by buyout-fund managers. Closing this unwarranted loophole will raise $25 billion over ten years, offsetting half the cost of providing AMT relief for 2007.
The Carried Interest Provision is a Subsidy for Fund Managers, paid for by the rest of us.
Eliminating the Carried Interest loophole has NO effect on the taxation of Capital Gains.
Eliminating this tax loophole will have NO effect on Realtors.
Congress Should NOT carve out exceptions that would keep the loopholes for some sectors.
Closing the Carried Interest tax loophole will have NO effect on pensions.
The American people will NOT view this measure as a "tax hike."

I live in Texas where the Highways arent finished but we build at least 2 new prisons every year.

My question is how do you feel that part of your tax dollars are going to feed criminals : convicted killers, child molesters, rapists, burglars etc..

When more important things such as schools and highways can be built.

Dont you just think we should send all of these people somewhere in some large prision in Antartica away from people and penguins where us law abiding citizens can have a better education and roads.

I dont like knowing im feeding criminals

It provokes me as a Swiss that I have to recognize in most questions automatically if they refer to USA. Practically nobody strives to indicate in his question which country it concerns. That does not only hurt. It can be rather arrogant and is political not correct.

Other English debating friends might feel the same. We live in numerous English speaking countries from Antigua to Zambia.

Can we also forget to indicate our country in our questions? Or have we to go to leave here?

Right now I'm taking AP Calculus which is the highest math I have ever taken in my life. I'm a senior in High School. I'm the only black female in taking AP calculus at my school. My math teacher makes me feel as though I'm not capable of understanding the work. I try my absolute best, but he sometimes just gives up. For instance I failed a math test and the other girl who he particularly favors failed it too, but he didn't say anything to her just to me and we had the same failing grade. She is an asian girl, but I feel like he thinks she's capable of doing better regardless and not me. I go to tutor twice a week and I'm looking at other resources and everything. I can't get out of this class because then I would be looked at as a failure and a quitter then he'll have the upper hand. I feel so outcasted at times when everyone understands the concept and not me, then when I have a question on a certain probably he makes these gesture like it was so easy and how could I have missed it.

Does anyone know of a company that sells a creamy type chocolate bar made with rice, almond, hazelnut or some other type of plant based milk? If so can you provide a link? Also if there are no companies that sell it but you have a recipe that would be helpful.

To say that God created somthing he can not control is blaspheme. If God does not control time then who does? Also how can we control time if we can control when we live or die?

Ok I went to buy this pill and the pharmacist told me I could drink the two pills at the same time if I don't usually suffer from nausea when I was pregnant.
But on the label it said take the second dose within 12 hours.
Does it make a difference? I took them both at the same time

My period is supposed to come any day now... I've gotten all my regular symptoms, cramping, breaking out a little bit, moody... I feel like it is going to happen any minute now. I took a pregnancy test last night and it came out positive! What happens if I got my period, like now? I wouldn't be pregnant than, right? I am only 18 years old and I am not ready for a baby.

learning, becoming?

I'm not talking about comfort or contentment or even happiness in the conventional meaning. I mean alive and in tune with ourselves and the world.

Did God put something in us that needs to grow toward a more complete state of being to be fulfilled?
