==Abstract==
To many, the concept of carried interest is confusing or meaningless, and the question as to why anyone would debate something so arcane is even more so. In all likelihood, the concept of the exorbitantly wealthy Wall Street bankers or hedge-fund managers is much more familiar, so we will start from there. The objective of this blog post is to shed some light on the obscure world of "hedge funds," explain why the managers are perceived to pay so little tax, and explore recent political developments that may or may not affect that perception in the future.
