I don't suppose anybody got a video of that speech? :(

[PokeyJoe]

That would make a great campaign commercial.

That would make a great campaign commercial.

Give them enough rope and they hang themselves. Oh this was a good one.

I love your signature block. I grew up in East TN, where that statement is true as well.

Adam Smith, in The Wealth of Nations wrote that the only true freedom is economic freedom. The comparative wealth of others does not make me poor. What makes me poor is not having a good or service that the market wants.

Sen. Clinton, understand me: I have seen the "good" you & your husband do for my country. I trust myself & my hard work a LOT more than I will ever trust the two of you. I'll keep my tax cut, WHICH WAS TOO SMALL BY THE WAY, thank you and I will be voting against Kerry.

[William Terrell]

Getting rid of the income tax, and imposing a tax more egregious.

[Badeye]

This is a prime example of why Hillary Clinton will never, ever, become President of the United States.

Her political tone deafness is her undoing, folks.

I know, I know.....many of the talking heads rant and rave, saying in effect "Hillary's Coming, Hillary's coming!".

History will show they are as wrong on this as the left is about the war on terror.

[budwiesest]

Your house? Your savings? Your hopes? Your dreams?

Don't forget your guns. She said "things", and that list could be very long.

[alisasny]

Note the common good is not to annihilate terrorists according to those who know best for us.....

[Just mythoughts]

"As reported by the Associated Press, Sen. Clinton said, "Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you."

" We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

We will do it because we can.

"America to get back on track" hmmmm, Hillry admitting she got DERAILED.

[Feros]

NJ is unbelievable.

The math works out to a tax increase of $28,571.43 per person, over and above whatever they paid last year!!

I live in PA and compared notes on property taxes with a co-worker who lives in NJ and they are killing you guys on that too. His property tax was approx. 3 times mine.

[axel f]

Get a load of what Hillary said...

[kenth]

we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you.

Telling, huh? They don't see private property or finances. It's theirs to decide to give it to you or not.

[Inspectorette]

Rush, Hannity, Boortz, et al. will no doubt be talking about this today. Love it that they have "staff lurkers" here.

This statement is the most chilling I've ever seen coming from a politician of any stripe.

[freeperfromnj]

Taxation is awful here. That's one of the reasons NJ is in play for President Bush. This move by McGreevey may tip the state to the President.

[The Mayor]

Sen. Clinton said, "Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

Boy is that in your face!

[blackdog]

But what she didn't say, is that the democrats will continue to enable tax dodging legislation provided the rich still kick some upstairs. It will still be the middle class burdened in the end. The rich have armies of accountants and lawyers with tax avoidance as their sole function.

[Old Professer]

I'm going to start demanding royalties on my tagline.

[MonroeDNA]

Bookmarked.

[catpuppy]

Say what you will about her husband, he never would have uttered such a stupid sentence. She may be the world's smartest woman but when she talks it becomes apparent that she has no clue as to what the nation will accept.

[blackdog]

And the non-profits multiply like rabbits. Then the firms assume the living expenses of the individuals or officers of the corporation. Lodging, dining, education, furnishings, transportation, etc...

Don't you remember little Kennedy's heating assistance NFP firm? He and his insiders live large on that. It's not their fault that administrative expenses account for 90% of their budget!

Gotta pay the babysitter ya know.....
