Let me ask you a volatile question

[Samantha]

8. I read that thread about carried over interest here and there was a line which said

investors argue that investment income (profit) is not immediately realized so it should not be immediately taxed. It is realized over a long period of time. Some taxpayers have been able to continue carrying over that same investment profit for a number of years. That is why this hypothetical poses the question about the cumulative carried over for 8 to 9 years. The inception would be when George W. Bush passed that special provision in 2003 and if a taxpayer could extend the taxes for as long as ten years, that would show up if he or she revealed his tax returns for the last say 8 or 9 years. It would no longer be a hypothetical question then but a shocking reality -- the cumulative tax avoided over a long period of time.

Thanks for responding to my thread.
