He demanded that the loophole be stopped and argued Ackman should receive standard W-2 income.\nAckman quickly dismantled the accusation, unequivocally shutting down the notion that his firm utilizes the controversial tax provision to minimize his tax liabilities.\n“This is totally false,” Ackman replied directly to Gerber. “I pay taxes at the highest federal, state, and city rates. Our funds are not structured in a manner to benefit from the lower carried interest rates.”\nUndeterred by the denial, Gerber continued to press the issue, questioning the underlying structure of Ackman's LLC distributions. When another user pointed out that Ackman was following the law, Gerber replied, “Yes it’s legal. Thats the problem.”\nThe clash quickly highlighted the ongoing confusion and frustration surrounding U.S. tax brackets. Anthony Pompliano, the founder & CEO of Professional Capital Management, jumped into the thread, arguing that a teacher earning $100,000 and a fund manager using carried interest pay similar tax rates—22% and 20%, respectively.\nHowever, this comparison relies on a common mathematical misconception. While 22% might be a teacher’s highest marginal bracket, their effective tax rate—after standard deductions—is significantly lower, underscoring the systemic differences between ordinary W-2 income and Wall Street capital gains as a deeply contentious flashpoint.\nBillionaire investor Bill Ackman‘s Pershing Square filed for U.S. initial public offerings of his hedge fund and a new fund on Tuesday. \nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nPhoto courtesy: Shutterstock\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
