Below is a live stream of Hedge Fund Billionaires vs. Kindergarten Teachers: Whose Side Are You On?, a new video from Brave New Films on the carried interest tax loophole.

A screening of this film will take place at Pace University in New York City on Thursday, September 10 at 4:30 p.m. Following the screening, Robert Greenwald and Mayor de Blasio will join a panel to "reflect on the film, what it means for New York City and the country, and how we can work together to end this injustice once and for all."

These investors make millions - sometimes billions - of dollars investing borrowed money in hopes of realizing large capital gains. But what is most absurd is that these millionaires and billionaires pay a lower tax rate than kindergarten teachers - and very likely a lower rate than YOU!\n \nWe wanted to know what kindergarten teachers thought about this insane disparity, so we talked to them. And the consensus is clear this must end!\n \nSo together we are calling on all 2016 presidential candidates to commit to closing the carried interest loophole within their first 100 days of office. If we closed this tax loophole and taxed hedge fund managers like we tax teachers and every other American, we would generate $17.7 billion over a decade.\n\nThis is money that could go to public education and into normal working Americans tax breaks! Join us to call on all 2016 presidential candidates to commit to closing the carried interest loophole within their first 100 days of office.\n\nSUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/1JUX3Xv\n\nSIGN UP for email updates: http://bravenewfilms.org/signup\nSet up a free screening or house party for any of our films free: http://www.bravenewfilms.org/screenings\n\nFacebook: http://www.Facebook.com/BraveNewFilms\nInstagram: http://www.Instagram.com/BraveNewFilms\nTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/BraveNewFilms\n\nDONATE: https://bravenew.nationbuilder.com/donate\n\nWATCH OUR FULL FILMS FREE + NEW VIDEOS EVERY WEEK: http://bit.ly/1JUX3Xv\n\nABOUT BRAVE NEW FILMS\nRobert Greenwald and Brave New Films are at the forefront of the fight to create a just America.
