In the Caribbean, away from IRS regulation? I think that ought to be looked into.


What is your proposal for hedge fund bankers? Everyone who works for a hedge fund should be imprisoned?
Should we bother following the law or just lock them up for the hell of it?

Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton has joined Avenue Capital Group, a $12 billion hedge fund manager whose founder has contributed to many Democratic Party campaigns, a person familiar with the matter said Friday.
Clinton, 26, the only child of former President Bill Clinton and U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, has taken a post at the New York-based fund manager in an undisclosed capacity, the source said.
Clinton, who graduated from Stanford University in 2001 and studied philosophy at Oxford University, most recently worked at consultants McKinsey & Co. from 2003.

8. Congress still has to pass legislation.

These shallow conceits are unrealistic. Both Sanders and Clinton have made similar assertions, but regardless of whose name is on the Resolute Desk, does anyone imagine the Republicans would ever agree to advance any legislation that targeted one of their major donor groups?
