Why close a hedge fund tax loophole in 2008 but give them until 2017 to pay billions?
Congress closed the loophole in 2008 and ordered hedge fund managers who used it to pay the accumulated taxes by 2017.
Amazing how they can put off paying until AFTER the 2016 presidential election. And if they can get the bill changed...
Soros owes BILLIONS.

Doesn't good old boy Warren Buffet also have a lot of deferred taxes?
Remind me - who do they support? Oh, that's right Clinton.
And in reply to Warren's old I should pay more taxes B.S.
