I will have no choice but to laugh very hard if Trump’s authoritarian tendencies and desperate desire to cut taxes for millionaires make him the one to finally kill off private equity’s carried interest loophole. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

RI & #PVDlocal: If you think this is a messed-up way to handle survival in a state where four people have frozen to death this winter, you're so right! Have you yelled at Governor McKee about it lately? 401-222-2080; you could call right now.
