Hillary Clinton caught on charity tax scheme
News.com.au ^ | Feb 27, 2007 | From correspondents in Washington

DEMOCRAT senator Hillary Clinton failed to disclose a family charity she operates with former president Bill Clinton that has enabled the couple to write off more than $US5 million ($6.3 million) in taxable income since 2001.

The US Ethics in Government Act requires members of Congress to disclose positions they hold with any outside entity, including non-profit foundations.

But in successive annual Senate disclosure forms, Senator Clinton has failed to report the foundation, established in 2001, or her position as treasurer and secretary, the Washington Post reported yesterday.

The foundation has enabled the Clintons to write off $US5 million in taxable income while it dispensed $US1.25 million in charitable contributions over that period.

"The details of the Clintons' charitable family foundation and Senator Clinton's role in it have always been publicly available but, in an oversight that leaders of both parties have made, it was inadvertently omitted from her Senate filing, which has been corrected," Clinton's spokesman Philippe Reines told the newspaper.

Riiiiiight.

Nothing like hypocrits caught in a tax-dodge. This is the same woman who turned over her investment portfolio into a blind-trust in 1993 and then proceeded to try and nationalize the healthcare industry (while the manager of her trust was SHORTING pharmaceutical and other healthcare stocks). Oh, that's right: it was just a coincidence.

I would be surprised if Rush hasn't talked about it on his show today. The first story on this crossed the wire around 8AM ET.

The newspaper said Clinton's office immediately amended her Senate ethics reports to add that information late Monday after receiving inquiries from The Washington Post.

Golly! Whaddaya think will happen?? I'm betting nothing. When hillary was caught taking tax deductions on Willie's used underwear, she should have been thrown in prison. Instead, she was elected co-president.

Of course. The US media is comfortably ensconced in Hillary's colon.
