2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that she favors rolling back the Bush tax cuts to fund reconstruction efforts in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Asked where the money to rebuild the city should come from, Mrs. Clinton told NBC's "Today Show": "It comes from the first instance in not making those tax cuts for rich people like us permanent." "Let's get back to shared sacrifice," Clinton insisted, defending her tax hike plan. "Let's take care of each other. Let's plan for the future. Let's do what is necessary to put Americans first again."
Mrs. Clinton has consistently argued for a tax hike ever since she was elected to the Senate.
Last year she told a San Francisco audience: "We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."
In 2003 Clinton argued for a tax hike to pay for the Iraq war.
In Nov. 2001, the former first lady blamed the 9/11 attacks on the Bush tax cuts, telling CNN: "If we hadn't passed the big tax cut last spring, that I believe undermined our fiscal responsibility and our ability to deal with this new threat of terrorism, we wouldn't be in the fix we're in today."
"Let's get back to shared sacrifice," ....
No, let's get back to individual responsibility and self-reliance, self-control and advance thinking and preparedness. Let's get away from big brother and big sister and perpetual victimhood. Let's get away from big government taking care of everything and everyone.
Most of all, let's get the hell away from Hillary and so called "liberals".
liberal code translation: don't ask any questions that we didn't discuss before hand..so I don't have to have a response I can't back up

STRIKE ONE
She's going to donate used clothes and claim a deduction as in the past.
How true. A Democrat never saw a tax he didn't like.
At least you always know what you're getting with Da Beast, unlike some RINOs!
Maybe Hillary can donate all the things she stole out of the White House to the people of New Orleans.
Tell Bubba to quit sending his used underwear. She should just send a check and shut the hell up.
I say we re-visit the highway bill and cut the pork from each district. The American people are paying enough in taxes, thank you.
Hillary never seen a tax increase that she didn't like. :D

What I've been saying...
And yet, some around here swoon at the approach of the Beast...
How about a 80% personal income tax break to any person who had an official residence as of 8/29/05 in the worst affected areas of the disaster area, for say 2 years. And another corporate tax break for businesses in teh affected area.
Hell, I PROPOSE WE TURN THE CITIES AND PORTS OF GREATER NEW ORLEANS INTO A FREE TRADE ZONE!
It worked for the French, it worked for the US after the Lousiana Purchase, and it can work again!
What a lying witch she is. Tax cuts weren't for the rich, they were for everyone. Can't these liberal Marxists come up with new mantras once in a while? I am weary of the same ole ones, over and over.
Line:55 Hillary Clinton Tax Overpayment Amount____________________ $0.00
I think the "tax cuts for the rich" thing quit working over a decade ago. They really need some new material.
Tax Democrats at 100% of their income.
How about we eliminate the Dept. of Education, end public broadcasting and quit funding the arts. That should just about cover it.
