I imagine all of the rich dems have their money in tax free bonds, probably related to their "services". No wonder they're against getting rid of the income tax and having a Federal sales tax.

Can you believe they have up parts of the interview? Clinton Inc will have it yanked before the weekend...

Where do you fall on the estate tax?

Clinton says, “I do not believe the estate tax should be repealed. I think it has been very cleverly hidden as a death tax. It’s really a tax to prevent us from having inherited wealth generation after generation which really undermines the spirit that the US stands for>"

She adds, “And there are a lot of economic reasons that make it unaffordable. I think we can raise the exemption levels.. but I will strongly support the maintenance of the estate tax.”

Do you believe the AMT (alternate minimum tax) should be passed without consideration for pay as you go?

Clinton says, “I really regret that the GOP in the Senate filibustered what was an effort to... try and fix the AMT.

She adds, “Unfortunately the Bush administration did not see... AMT as a priority and they would never work with us to try and fix it. So we’re going to have to fix it – because it’s not fair to hit these millions of taxpayers with this extra tax.”
