Not only that - the Clintons claim Arkansas as their residence for tax purposes so they don't have to pay ANY DC income taxes! They don't own a residence in Arkansas either. Try getting away with THAT! You'd think those rich Clintons would be ashamed at avoiding their fair share and helping out the poor folks that live around their mansion. Oh, I forgot that "compassion" in the liberal lexicon means you spend other people's money on government programs while shielding your own money from being taxed and diverted to such endeavors. That's why they oppose tax cuts for the middle class.

I suspect that disparity arises because Hillary donated the income from the book to "charity". Their taxable income is probably only half of the total. JLA

Hi Bill, when Slick is feeling our pain and telling us the rich [those making over $100,000] aren't paying their fair share of taxes, I guess it depends on how you define "fair". The top ten percent of income earners pay over 50% of all the taxes collected, as I recall, or maybe it's even 60%. Seems like a fair deal for the middle income guys to me. Clinton probably got away with only 15% by donations etc. This is the guy who wrote off donating his used underwear, if you remember. Maybe Ken Starr can get the IRS on him. Wouldn't that be poetic justice, since he and Mr. Rubin don't think there is anything wrong with the IRS that a few memos from them can't fix. Just fantasizing. Our prez is Teflon incarnate. Jack
