5. TARGETING OUR OPPONENTS —
NOT JUST PLAYING DEFENSE
“The Hedge Clippers have a more singular
focus than Occupy Wall Street ever did. They
would like taxes raised on the superrich; they
want pension funds and universities to divest
from hedge funds; they want carried interest
to be taxed at a higher rate at the federal level
and for the loopholes around it in local tax
codes to be expunged.”
