| Hypocrisy Much? Clintons Took Pains To Avoid Taxes They Publicly Support
283 Shares By Michael Hausam 12 hours ago
According to Bloomberg, in 2010 the Clintons changed the ownership status of their New York home, which they bought in 1999 for $1.7 million, to take advantage of current estate tax rules.
What they did is divide the ownership into two separate trusts that pass to on to Chelsea after 10 years. After that period they will have to pay rent to her, but any growth in the value of the home remains outside of their estate. And thereby limit estate taxes.
Doesn’t everyone do that if they have the financial wherewithal? Isn’t it the responsible thing to do?
Of course and of course.
But on the other hand, not everyone uses their bully pulpit to publicly support estate taxes. This is exactly what the Clintons have done.
Consider these facts:
Hillary supported capping the estate tax exemption and increasing the top rate to 45% in her last campaign for President.
In 2007 she said “The estate tax has been historically part of our very fundamental belief that we should have a meritocracy.”
She also said that without the state tax, the country could become “dominated by inherited wealth.”
Bill vetoed a proposal to repeal the state tax in 2000.
At the time he said that keeping the estate tax was an issue of “fiscal responsibility and fairness.”
In other words, do as we say, just not as we do.

I know it wasn't a surprise to you. I find it very aggravating. Look how many Congressmen have gotten away with not paying taxes. It's a complete joke. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | I swear, as time goes on, I seriously doubt I belong to the same species as these progressives. To me, they seem more like aliens from another planet, and I'm quite certain they feel the same way toward people like me. I have to keep reminding myself that they just can't help it. My Rotweiler is almost human in some respects, but she loves to lick her genitals but I can't lick my genitals, just like I can't appreciate the things that a liberal progressive appreciates. |

She's got to wait until Rachel Maddow discusses it on her show or read a blog in the Huff to get an opinion on this topic. |

You would think..... Who knows, maybe they are ignoring it to the point where she can't get her thoughts together. |

| Was it NBC that did the poll I don't remember but it concluded that if she ran today or like yesterday she would lose and if she ran against Mitt Romney she wold lose. I dont know why they did it against Mitt Romney because he has said he won't run again but he is starting to pop up a lot here and there. |

Absolutely Ted Cruz.
There is some question about his citizenship. I believe he was born in Canada. |

I like him but I'm a realist...He is too far to the right and probably could be elected for Governor of Texas but in the rest of the United States, it's not going to happen. It is what it is. Too many people want to be taken care of in the New America. JMHO |
