Billionaire Leon Cooperman likes his money — and has a history of making controversial comments about people who want him to pay more taxes.
Cooperman made that claim, the magazine noted, even though Obama had in fact held a number of jobs before entering the White House, including having worked, as an attorney, law professor, community organizer, business researcher, state legislator and as a U.S. senator from Illinois."He went into government service right out of Harvard," Cooperman said. "He never made payroll. He's never built anything.
Most of the tax increases implemented under Obama were done to pay for his signature health-care reform program, The Affordable Care Act. Obama extended Bush-era tax cuts for all but individuals who earn $400,000 or more annually, and for couples who earn $450,000 or more. In the same interview with The New Yorker, Cooperman, in talking about Obama's election during the 2008 financial crisis, said it was, "Not totally different from taking Adolf Hitler in Germany and making him in charge of Germany because people were economically dissatisfied. Now, Obama's not Hitler. I don't even mean to say anything like that."
