They were talking about the Clintons on FOX. The Dem defender said that they earned their money, by working hard, just like Mitt Romney.

Doesn’t anyone notice the difference between building private sector companies and working in government, peddling influence? Are we too polite, or too dimwitted?

Instead, the Dem defender harped on how Hillary paid normal tax rates, instead of gaming the system like Mitt to get low rates. So, setting up a “residential trust”, as the Clintons have done, is somehow a morally superior tax avoidance scheme to the way Mitt went about dealing with our oppressive tax laws?

IIRC, all of Romney's income was from interest and investments ... max rate is 15%.
That is NOT gaming the system.

Hilary is an arrogant witch. SHE is the one who cried about being “broke” and not well off. Now she’s doubling down blaming Mitt Romney?

As you point out, the Clintons have a foundation, political campaign funds, private donors, a presidential library! Who the heck does she thing she’s kidding?
