I wonder if we could figure out how much in taxes Hillary and Bill

have paid over the years. That would show they are allinthistogether with americans. Because hedge fund managers don't pay nearly as much in taxes as the Clintons do on each dollar earned. It shows that they do their part. In fact, books and speeches are getting income from middle class or rich people and funneling that through the Clintons as income, who then pay taxes on it. Then it goes back into government to pay for pell grants and such.

would have paid tons more in taxes for each dollar earned. It is a good thing. It is a way to say "hey, we do our part. We are part of the American way".

more in taxes on each dollar earned than the hedge fund managers is a good thing. It is amiable. I love Hillary Clinton.

it's crystal clear to me what you are trying to say, which is that the clintons made an argument that they are not rich in the same manner as the romneys, in that they pay taxes (clintons). hence we should see how much they actually pay, and realize that these taxes fund some of the shit we like.

... Not sayin that's your personal position, but that's one logical conclusion to be drawn from it. Thanks for posting though.
