I guess it's what you consider rich.

WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, April 13) - President Bill Clinton and first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton paid $89,951 in federal income taxes for 1998 on an adjusted gross income of $504,109, according to tax returns released by the White House on Tuesday.

Separately, the released returns of Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, show they earned $224,376 in 1998 and paid income taxes totaling $52,951.

Pretty much chump change compared to Bush or Kerry.

He wasn't rich as he was growing up, but he was rich by the time he reached the White House.

By whose standards was Clinton rich? I remember seeing his net worth at some time during his presidency and wondering how he could be that unrich by the time he became president. He didn't own his first house until after he left the White House.

He was rich by the time he reached the Arkansas governorship too.

I doubt it. Wasn't he elected to governor at 29 or 31 or some extemely early age.

If the Clinton's were rich, Hillary wouldn't have needed to turn $1,000 into $100,000 in her brief cattle futures trading career....
