Carlyle Group co-founder and Declaration Partners founder David Rubenstein is known as a "policy making billionaire." For nearly fourteen years he's enjoyed preferred "carried interest" taxation because Congress granted his wish to not eliminate the highly unpopular billionaire tax dodge.
Rubenstein has another wish, maybe more of a declaration, that Major League Baseball institute a salary cap that helps small market teams like the Baltimore Orioles.
When Rubenstein makes a wish, political powers move mountains. Somebody give this MLB yet another break...
