He will be fought by the wealthiest of this nation.

• President Donald Trump has renewed calls to end a popular Wall Street tax break.
• The “carried interest loophole” refers to favorable tax treatment for certain compensation received by private equity, venture capital and hedge-fund managers.
• Investment fund general partners pay long-term capital gains on carried interest held for more than three years.

Time to end State sponsored tax evasion for the wealthy, too ( dynasty trusts). The Waltons, et al, don't need protections.
