What do our blogger emeritus Victor Fleischer, Kim Kardashian and the Gosselins have in common?  They are tabloid attractions!  Vic is featured today on the front page of the New York Post.  It's not every day that a law professor and a working paper are featured in the Post, but of course it is Vic, whose creative and aggressive scholarship on carried interest was picked up by the mainstream media before.  Vic's new target is the tax treatment of founder's stock, whereby entrepreneur's human capital becomes invested in stock, not salary, and therefore gets attractive tax treatment relative to the income of wage slaves like the rest of us.  His paper, Taxing Founder's Stock, and his power point slides are available on his website.

I read every word that Vic writes and can't wait until his articles are cited in People magazine.
