I Make Phone Calls

Okay, I just called my House representative and Senators and suggested that as part of the tax package, they insert legislation designed to close the IRS loophole that allows managers of investment partnerships (including hedge funds, private equity firms, and others) to pay capital gains (as opposed to ordinary) tax rates on income from their activities.

I'll probably follow up (like tomorrow) with letters to this effect, too.

You could contact your House representative and/or Senators, too.
