The Clinton taxes were released today, and damn. They are so freaking loaded. They had an income of $20.4 million in 2007, coming to more than $109 million since 2000. And people who complain about taxes? Quit complaining, because the Clintons paid $33 million in taxes in the past seven years. They also donated about $10 million to charity during that time.
So how can these tax records help or hurt Hillary? 1. People may think that a person who is so wealthy is not really representative of their personal issues. I think that could be contested though because her demographic is greatly influenced by the less priveliged and so on. 2. People will like how much they have donated. 3. People will finally see that she is not corrpt - if she was, then she would want to keep the tax cuts for the rich. Why? Because she is rich. 4. It is obvious that some people will try and make something negative about this. Maybe because it took so much time to come out. That does seem fishy to an extent; it would be for any politician. Maybe it just took forever to count all that money! Jeez. Come up with your own convictions. I personally don't think this will affect anyone's vote.
