Taxes and income for 2000-2006? How much in a single year?

[jasmine621]

Everyone seems to be talking about $109 million like was the income for one year. Am i missing something? Over a six-year period, this income is not a huge at it appears, especially with their expenses. They wrote books, Bill gave speeches, and invested in the markets. Do you folks begrudge any other politician such incomes? Wasn't it ok for Reagan to earn 2 million for a speech to the Japanese when he left office? How much do you think Obama will be earning once he leaves Congress? For god's sake, Bill is a former US President who presided over an era of peace and prosperity unmatched in modern times. The world loved him and he was and still is respected and admired around the world. Do you guys scream when a basketball player earns a five-year 60-million cantract or a signing bonuse of 12-million? Just listen to your pitiful selves.

1. Listen to your own pitiful self.

If the Clintons weren't embarrassed of their wealth they would have divulged it a lot sooner.

3. it evens out to less than $16 million a year... that is actually smaller than many retiring senators

much less presidents...

you have any CLUE how much Pappa Bush makes?

4. Your point is correct but now raises more questions, if they average 15 million a year,

How could she afford to loan 5 million to her campaign?

That has been the question that was asked to be answered when people began asking for the returns.

That was when people were under the impression that they may have had a 50 million a year income, now the demand rises, not falls.

The question remains did income from Dubai or China government connected funds buy their way into a presidential elections coffers?

5. they have a net worth of about $50 million... that is how... that is prolly all they had to loan

unlike someone like Romney... or Kerry... or Kennedy... or McCain...

6. And that raises the question of why

Aren't the loans being made to cover Joe Public vendor.

More has been paid to people like strategist Mark Penn who used that time to Lobby a free trade with Columbia at the same time Hillary has told us she doesnt support that.

Why isn't she paying guys like you and I, instead of supporting politicians that say one thing and do another.

Oh wait that is because she is one of the politicians that say one thing and do another.
