Edwards hedges first

   On Friday, Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton went after the low-tax status of hedge fund investment managers thanks to the current, federal tax code.

 

 

   It turns out that primary rival John Edwards beat Clinton the punch, releasing a statement on the issue two days before Clinton did.

  "You want to know what I mean by Two Americas? A tax code that lets hedge fund and private equity managers making hundreds of millions a year pay taxes at a lower rate than their secretaries is wrong,'' Edwards said in his statement.

   ``Building One America means getting rid of loopholes like the one that lets these investment advisers treat most of their compensation as capital gains.  Carried interest is compensation for work, and it should be taxed like other pay.''

     The US Senate Finance Committee hosted a hearing last week on getting rid of the tax break.

Raped and no one cares 7-23 07

Raped by New Hampshire Government officials and the news censors the truth to protect Judge Peter Fauver. Do the people have a right to uncensored news. Fauver violated our constitution 29 or more times to intentionally inflict harm on U.S. citizens. I volunteer my time to help a Madbury NH family and NH rapes me. The opinion of the people is the foundation of the U.S. The news media refuses to tell the truth. I give my life for the U.S. I came back from the Vietnam Conflict 100% disabled. I was injured three times, twice in separate combat support missions. Why the silence? I write clear facts supported by proof. I send copies to Fauver, government, news and others. If what I write was not true they would crush me. NH raped me of my rights because I volunteer to help a Madbury family so desperate they asked a disabled U.S. Marine for help.
The state of NH to protect a criminal judge has had my Veterans Medical stopped. The news media refuses to inform the public. I have violated no laws or threatened anyone. What I have done is volunteer help a Madbury family to stop the Madbury selectmen whom use their trusted government positions for personal revenge. I went to a wedding this past weekend in Woodstock VT. I stopped my self several times from taking my life. As I talked to others some word or actions would cause my first kill to be a reality in front of me. I was an American Advisor on convoy eight times. On one mission I was removed by enemy soldiers from a village we stopped at for the night. A mile or so in the jungle we stopped. I escaped only to meet one just out side the camp perimeter. I stuck my bayonet up under his ribs took my M-16 back then realize this soldier could not be but 11 or 12 years old. The news media and the State of New Hampshire have raped me. The Veterans Administration through NH VA director Levenston is using disabilities that I received defending this nation for political power. I have told President Bush all the way down to the loneliest reporter only to have my rights diminished to the point discrimination no longer can describe it. Judge Fauver violated the Constitution to protect the criminal acts of the Madbury selectmen. The news media has violated the trust of every United States Citizen. I killed for you and you take pleasure in raping me. I will not stop volunteering to help this Madbury family
