Carried Interest does something for a living, letting hired hands tend to the details while he's in public office, voters have no idea what that is, and his media mogul buddies aren’t letting their talking heads ask. There are all kinds of documents that could tell us, but the conspiracy doesn’t seem to want anybody to find out.
The basic business model for “hedge” fund management consists of blindsiding the investing public. The principal tactics there are lying, cheating, and stealing. Maybe if the electorate knew how good Carried Interest is at the lying, it would help his ballot count. Voters have to assume that the Muslim is a lot better at it than Carried Interest, given the continuous flow Umama came out with during the 2008 campaign. If some of us knew that Carried Interest, based on actual books and records, had been a much bigger liar than that while sneaking all those Swiss bank account bucks overseas, he might at least carry the sociopath block. Umama’s hope and change isn’t all that big a fabrication. Every politician jawbones shinola like that.
Whatever, the “hedge” fund boom occurred during the heady days of job outsourcing and credit default swaps. Lately – now that the impact from putting America out of work and into homelessness has destroyed the demand side of our economy - there’s been nothing but mediocre performance, at best, and fund shut-downs. Some thieving punk from Iowa turned his “hedge” fund into a Ponzi scheme according to the latest news blurb.
Produce the paper trail, Carried Interest, and let the Nation see just how big a crook you really are. We’re dying to peruse the full list of your past “investments” – and all those “hedges” you guys couldn’t stop bragging on - way back before wheeling and dealing gave us Financial Armageddon.
A list of positions in your fund(s) would do. No, not today’s after you clean it up. The HISTORICAL list. Names and dates.
