Clinton: Rich 'Not Paying Their Fair Share' in Taxes

"The rich are not paying their fair share in any nation that is facing the kind of employment issues (the United States is), whether it's individual, corporate, whatever the taxation forms are," she said.

The former first lady broached the subject during a national security discussion at the Brookings Institution. She lamented that the United States has lowered taxes on the wealthy and said nations around the world need to "increase their public revenue collections" to spur investment.

Clinton pointed to Brazil's high taxation as an example that other countries should strive toward.

"Brazil has the highest tax-to-GDP rate in the Western Hemisphere and guess what -- it's growing like crazy. And the rich are getting richer, but they're pulling people out of poverty," she said. "There is a certain formula there that used to work for us until we abandoned it, to our regret in my opinion."

A peek into the mind of a liberal Democrat.  Scary.

Here's a novel idea... how about we all pay the same amount and you guys stop spending so much.

Mrs. Clinton would you please tell us about all the money from the Whitewater scandal you have in Swiss Banks that has been unreported?

You first, you pompous hypocritical bitch, and dumping treasure into a 'foundation' or 'charitable trust' then getting the foundation-or-whatever to buy you first-class tickets and Presidential accommodations for those 'coordinating meetings' and 'board retreats' in Cancun, Aruba, Hawaii and any other fashionable pit stop du jour ought to be the first thing you outlaw.

Yeah....like the Kennedy's donated their big house(compound) in Miami(?) to a charitable organization to dodge property taxes and such but the charitable organization has never been allowed to use it.
