Clinton nears $40M in six years for speeches

Wonder how much of that went to this so-called charity...?

BIZZY BILL MAY FIND IT HARD TO GET PAID (43 speeches yielded $7.5M)

Wasn't tax evasion the way the Feds got Capone?

Wonder how much the University of Michigan is paying him for his graduation speech this year? I have a kid there and I already sent the administration a letter telling them what a bad choice he is for speaker (thankfully she is not graduating this year).

President Clinton to deliver spring 2007 commencement address

So much for higher education. And not a peep about how much Bubba's charging.

I can't stand the Clintons even a little bit, but sheltering their money isn't something I can fault them with. Keeping your cash from the IRS is the goal of every American. The fact that the Clintons were able to find a means of doing this is just good financial management on their part. Did I just say that, I should wash my mouth out for saying anything good about them.

"Keeping your cash from the IRS is the goal of every American."

Hillary's goal is also to keep your cash through universal health care, tax increases and turning the IRS lose on you.

If we failed to report $500 not $5 million, we would be in jail. The Clinton's picture is listed under hypocrite in the dictionary.

[livius]

There's nothing wrong with sheltering your money. The issue is that Hillary didn't report it where she was supposed to - on not one but five different occasions. I guess she must have gotten busy baking cookies and just plain forgot, sweet little thing that she is.

Watchdog Cites Failures at Charity

[PilloryHillary]

Sounds like Hillary & Bill don't like being taxed for the 'common good'. How many more 'oversights' will be found?

[Ben Hecks]

Does that leave $3.75 million hanging somewhere?

Salaries and overhead expenses probably eat up a good chunk of that. Sure would be interesting to see the personnel roster.

[rabidralph]

So, what's the name of the charity? It's not named in the story.

[bert]

Unlike most family charities, being Rats,the Clintons receive benefits rather than give benefits.

"both parties have made"

&&&&&

That phrase only is used when a dem is accused of something. It is a reflex for reporters to add it if their favorites are found liable for something unethical or criminal or ugly.

[Freee-dame]

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton failed to list on annual Senate financial disclosure forms the family charity she operates with former president Bill Clinton,

The number of these family foundations have increased dramatically in the paast few years. They only have to spend a small amount each year. The rest can just stay "invested"....for the people, I'm sure. /sarcasm

They write the laws to favor themselves first. This "tax cut for the rich" would not exist if they really meant what they say.

[Pharmboy]

I had not read the press release from U of M before--thanks for linking. When my daughter told me about it a few months ago, I dashed an email off to them saying that with all the available people, this man was a poor choice as a model for Wolverine graduates.

And the release reads like it was written by the DNC. Sheesh.
