uh, his wall street plan is to get rid of carried interest and increase taxes on fund managers. i think we found some funding a corporate tax cut (if that's in fact what he's proposed).

He also proposes taxing _all_ income from pass-through vehicles (such as private equity funds, VC funds, and hedge funds) at 15%. Trump may eliminate the carried interest loophole, but he does so by lowering taxes until the loophole is irrelevant.

I consider this clear proof that he thinks his voters are chumps.
