(From yesterday's "Face the Nation" on CBS)

DICKERSON: Let me ask you about a constituency that may have -- be 
interested in you.

You told "TIME" magazine -- you said, "I have hedge fund guys that are 
making a lot of money that aren't paying anything."

TRUMP: Right.

DICKERSON: Would you change that? And how would you do it?

TRUMP: I would change it. They're paying nothing. And it's ridiculous.
I want to save the middle class. You know, the middle class -- the hedge 
fund guys didn't build this country. These are guys that shift paper 
around and they get lucky. And, by the way, when the market collapses, 
like it is now, the market is going down, they're losing a fortune.

Half of them, look, they're energetic, they're very smart, but a lot of 
them, it's like they're paper pushers. They make a fortune, they pay no 
tax. It's ridiculous, OK? This -- and some of them are friends of mine. 
Some of them, I couldn't care less about. It's the wrong thing.

The hedge fund guys are getting away with murder. They're making a 
tremendous amount of money. They have to pay taxes. I want to lower the 
rates for the middle class. The middle class is the one, they're getting 
absolutely destroyed. This country doesn't have -- won't have a middle 
class very soon.
