The Clintons: estate taxes for thee but not for me

My relatives got involved in a trust scam to try to keep one older relative's from being taxed. He had somewhat over the $600k limit at the time, but lost more from screw ups by the idiot lawyers and accountants involved than he would have paid in taxes. If you do try to set up a trust, don't go to someone who got their skills from a "set up trusts in your spare time" ad in the back of a magazine.

I had one very liberal relative involved smugly saying that this is just the type of account the Kennedys use. Well, I went off on her about the hypocrisy of the Kennedys telling us to pay more taxes and hiding their money from the very laws they pass. I also pointed out that unlike the Kennedys she didn't have to power to call up the IRS and "correct" their error if they tried to poke holes in the trust. I then did a pretty good impression of Fat Ted telling and IRS agent "If you try to audit my family, you'll be doing all of your future audits in Fah-go". She didn't have much to say after that.

Hey HilLiarY. Are you running for office or not? Its a yes or no question.

Why has ALL media stopped asking that qirstion?
