CBS GOP S.C. Debate: on Corporations


Jeb Bush: Hedge fund managers should pay taxes the same as others

Q: You have proposed a tax on hedge fund managers. Conservatives wonder if this would undercut your projection of 4 percent economic growth annually.

BUSH: Of course, not. Private equity people and hedge fund folks that are, right now getting capital gains treatment for the income they earn, should pay ordinary income tax like everybody else. What we need is to reform the tax code to simplify rates.
