Your argument would be stronger if you thought carried interest was just fine. The fact that you understand in reality carried interest is a loophole, available only to some, leads to the parallel conclusion that long term capital gains and tax free bonds are actually investment instruments also not truly 'available' to a large segment of the working population.
