I can't imagine Romney, a repeated Presidential candidate, would be dumb enough to do anything illegal.

I know, I know -- we can all list many high-level politicians who have been thrown out of office and/or into jail for doing illegal things.

But still, I'd be shocked.

    - question, is the way carried interest treated part of the Bush-era tax cuts, or is it separately hardwired into the tax code? -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 08:34 3
      - no, it was an old interpretation that really didnt get used heavily until the 1990s and 2000s -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 18, 08:42

- Can carried interests cover more than 50%, or are they subject to the same limitations as charitable donations? - Beryllium Jul 18, 08:24 3

  - That's a good question to which I will defer to the tax and lawyer STers. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 18, 08:25
  - carried interest is income, not a deduction. - tRuMaN Jul 18, 08:25
