Carried Interest is the perfect example of getting paid only when you make your company/clients money.

Bailed out banks? Sure, but who started that? An allegedly "fiscally conservative" Republican.

I guarantee you that Romney was getting a salary at Bain Capital in at least six figures before he got to the point where his covered interest contract could kick in.

If he was earning six figures in income then he is paying SS, medicare and federal income taxes along the same schedules that everyone else is.

Salespeople also get paid only when they make money for their employer.

Yet every dollar they earn is taxed as regular income.

Yep.

The more a sales person fucks over their customer, they more they get paid.

You seem to have made a new year's resolution to only add irreverency to threads, instead of actual contributions/points/counterpoints

I would have thought this was your kind of thread.

Whatever....Again, I don't care who is responsible for throwing my money away.... I only mentioned these things in response to the party rhetoric that is being tossed around here.
