So fucking what!!

Doesn't everyone try to pay as little as possible in taxes. If what she's doing is legal then who gives a shit? Most of Bush's base have off-shore accounts and companies so they don't have to pay taxes at all.

I'm really amazed at the stupidity in this country.

1. Maybe Bush should close up those tax loopholes then.
Or is he too busy laughing about it in front of lower and middle class Americans?

2. I thought that they wanted us to pay less taxes?
Isn't that the major platform plank of the GOP? So which is it? Go on and on about too high taxes then complain if they think someone doesn't pay enough? Since when have they ever accused anyone of paying too little? Geez.

3. According to some figures I saw, her total income for last year
was less than $5,000,000. For a person in her net worth range of about 700,000 that's not that much income. Half of it was on revenue from bonds. Her taxes were around 700,000 for the year.

5. She pays the taxes that are the result of the tax code the Republicans...
...love: tax labor at the highest rates & tax unearned income (dividends and cap gains) at the lowest rates.

6. Maybe it's because she benefited from bush's tax cuts for the
already rich.

7. Exactly. If the repubs are so concerned that she should
pay more taxes then why don't they repeal the goddam tax cuts for her tax bracket?????
What a bunch of fucking two-faced hypocritical morons.
