Here’s How The Government Can Fix Silicon Valley: Leave It Alone

Strawman: Arrington specifically referenced Dodd's insane regulations + net worth increase in the latter's financial regulation bill, which most certain would have screwed things up. As it is, the current compromise of excluding an angel's primary home from his calculated net worth is going to remove a lot of angels from the game.

I'm referencing Arrington's comments on Feld's blog.

Could you supply a link (doesn't have to be to the exact comment)?

Google "VC carry interest". Feld's blog post owns the search results page for it.

The first page of my Google results doesn't even have a link to his blog.

My top 100 for [VC carry interest] include no Feld links, either. Perhaps TPtacek is seeing highly personalized Google results?

Sorry, add "tax" to your query. But if it doesn't come up this time, I'm sure you can find Feld's post yourself.

Still no luck, and since it is you who is claiming that Arrington is referring to the carried interest tax hike proposal "screw[ing] up the delicate system of venture funding" (something not evident in his comment on Fred Wilson's blog noted by gojomo), it is incumbent upon you to specifically support it rather than sending us on a wild goose chase.

You must mean Fred Wilson, because this post meets your description (including an Arrington comment), while no feld.com posts do:
