RSSClinton’s Finally Release Post White House Tax Returns … Bill & Hillary Made $109 Million Since Bubba was President
The long wait is over. The Clinton’s have finally released their tax returns following Bill Clinton leaving the office of the President of the United States. If you took the under of $100 million, you lost. Boy, this makes one really want to donate their hard earned money to a political candidate. What is wrong with this picture?
This is rather ironic or is it pathetic? On the very day that Hillary Clinton announced that she proposed creating a cabinet-level position devoted to ending poverty, Billery reported earning more than $109 million over eight years. Maybe Hillary can pay for this new cabinet level position’s salary out of her own pocket. If they wanted to end poverty, why don’t they just let everyone be able to be a politician. Seems like its a rather easy get rich quick scheme at the expense of “We the People”.
Can you say Jackpot!!! Of course it is not lost that the Clinton’s released the data late on a Friday afternoon to avoid the news cycles. Who do they think they are Aruba? The Clinton’s reported making 20.4 million in 2007 alone. Are these the same people that had set up a legal trust fund and begged people to donate to help Bill & Hillary pay for their many legal issues while “Bubba” was President. One might think that they may want to reimburse the many who were foolish enough to donate.
Individual years tax returns can be found at HillaryClinton.com
2000-2007 Returns
Feds Taxes Paid: $33.7 million
Charity: $10.2 million
Hillary’s Senate Salary: $1,051,606
Bill’s Presidential Pension: $1,217,250
Hillary’s Book Income: $10,457,083
Bill’s Book Income: $29,580,525
Bill’s Speech Income: $51,855,599
UPDATE I: Charity Begins at Home or at least to the Clinton family Foundation … All charitable donations in ’06 were to Clinton Foundation
Isn’t this special and self-serving. Giving charitable donations to yourself for the tax relief implication and then giving out those contribution after one declares a presidential candidacy in a show of good will. So much for giving to charity, just because its the right thing to do.
During that time, the Clintons paid $33.8 million in federal taxes and claimed deductions for $10.2 million in charitable contributions. The contributions went to a family foundation run by the Clintons that has given away only about half of the money they put into it, and most of that was last year, after Mrs. Clinton declared her candidacy.

Don’t tell me they LAUGHED all the way to the Bank!
I wish people voting for Hillary would read some of the facts about these people. Bill gave a pardon to a group that had killed and injured several police officers and had bombed many locations just to get PR vote in NY City.(This a fact).
The Clintons pardoned Mark Rich who was on the run and had sold guns , weapons to our enemy’s to get a large contribution to the Clinton library.(This is a fact)
There is much more,please read about these people.
Look at the lies from Hillary: Under oath in one of her many scandles Hillary stated over one hundred times she could not remember.(This is from the smartest women in the world)Hillary worked as an attorney on the impeachment of Nixon and was fired because of lying.Sniper fire(Lying).Chelsea was in danger on 911(she was home in bed).Lied again. This is just the tip of the iceburg.There is something wrong with this lady and I do not want her answering any phone for me at 3:00AM.Again people need to read the facts on Hillary!
hillary’s no idiot. she saw how much billy boy would be raking in on the speech circuit & saw dollar signs. imagine how many woman’s groups will be jumping for the chance to hire the first former female president. if we’re so unlucky as to have her serve, she’ll be reaping the rewards for the rest of her life.
oh, and the clinton’s didn’t list any money made off all the loot they “accidentally” took from the white house. guess this is what happens when you let the hillbillies have the run of the place.
There’s an new row on the horizon between the US & the Dutch.
Holly Ann Collins fled the USA with her childeren in fear off her (ex) husband who abused her & her childeren.
The FBI registered her as an child abducter, meanwhile Holly Ann Collins applied for political refugee status(an first in history) and the court’s granted it her.
She was betrayed to the FBI by her neighbour who now is treatend by other for his treason.

I’m not voting for a Dem., and I don’t particularly like Hillary, but I will defend them on this one. According to the tax codes, they were only required to pay approx. 22% taxes. What they ultimately paid was over 32%, which says that they paid 10% more than they were required to pay because they didn’t take all of the deductions they were entitled to. They also give more than $10 million to charity, and that’s 10% of their income. That’s 9% more than Obama. $109 million is a huge amount of money, but not as much as many sports figures and movie stars make, and the job of president is one that most people wouldn’t be willing to take on for any amount of money. Bottom line for me is, I wouldn’t vote for Hillary for a number of reasons, but the fact that they have worked hard and made a lot of money shouldn’t be a reason to rake them over the coals or not vote for her. If people are going to focus on how much money she made, they ought to also acknowledge the taxes they paid and the charities that have benefited. And, we should all try to keep jealousy and envy over someone’s wealth out of the equation. It has nothing to do with what makes someone a good president.
#6 Katherine: You need to read more about just how the Clintons made the money they did. It didn’t come from “hard work”. It came from trading in their allegiance and sworn duty to protect the USA from pardons and deals with foreign countries.
I’ve got nothing against people who work hard and make great money. But I do have something against trading in your country for a bundle of dough. Read about Bill’s work to get the USA ports for Dubai and his partnership with Canadian mining financier Frank Giustra. This couple have sold out.
Also see that a lot of income comes from Bill’s book about “Giving”! Giving to whom?
Tell Hillary to bring back the White House furnishings!
I’ve been told that every member of the Senate is a millionaire. It isn’t their money they spend, it’s ours.
Well, maybe our new slogan can be:
“Our politicians … the best that money can buy.”
And they feel our pain.
Katherin, They have not disclosed how much of the charity money went to there charity which they have use of that money for expenses. They do not miss any crooked angle plus they have money in the Cayman Islands that is a tax dodge.(I just moved back from there). How blind do people want to be.Read The Clinton Crack Up and look at all the pardon payoff’s and one has already killed again. Do people not read or do they decide by the 30 min. news from Katie Couric.
Remember, this is just the income they REPORTED. How much did they actually earn? How much was funneled directly into offshore accounts? Maybe much, much more.
There is $18,000,000.00 not accounted for. The Clintons will not ever answer any of this and keep playing there shell game!
Dear Murph…what I think you are missing here is that those voting for her do not care one bit about her lying. They are no different…a bunch of liars who are angry at the world and want to live off the work/backs/money of others. I can see no other reason outside of complete stupidity anyone would choose to vote for that creature.
Hill and Bill went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water
