Calling Paul Krugman! Calling the Left!



Hillary Clinton is calling for a tax cut for the middle class...

* WHOA!

* CALLING PAUL KRUGMAN! CALLING THE LEFT! WHEN SHOULD WE EXPECT TO HEAR THE SHRIEKS OF "VOODOO ECONOMICS?!"

* FOLKS... THE HYPOCRISY OF THE LEFT KNOWS NO BOUNDS...

Mrs. Clinton’s campaign said Friday that she will detail new proposals for a round of tax cuts meant to boost “the take-home pay for middle-class families.”

* HMM... SOUNDS LIKE "TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS" TO ME!

* HEY... FOLKS... I'M AGAINST HIGH TAXES TOO! BUT... I'M FOR BALANCED BUDGETS! I'M FOR DECREASED GOVERNMENT SPENDING AND SMALLER GOVERNMENT. (HEY, HRC SUPPORTERS? IS THAT WHAT HRC IS FOR AS WELL?)

(*SMIRK*)

A Clinton campaign aide said the Democratic front-runner’s plans would inject hundreds of billions of dollars into middle-class households, enabling them to better cope with rising expenses.

* AND... er... ABOUT THE SPENDING SIDE...??? HOW'S THAT SUPPOSED TO WORK?

(*SNORT*)

To pay for the tax reductions, the former secretary of state will offer proposals that “ensure the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share,” her campaign aide said.

* THE CLINTONS ARE WORTH WHAT... (LET'S GOOGLE!)

* HMM... APPARENTY THEY'RE WORTH SOMEWHERE AROUND $50 MILLION.

* HERE'S THE THING, THOUGH: SINCE 2001 BILL AND HILLARY HAVE RAKED IN MORE THAN $230 MILLION - ACCORDING TO MOTHER JONES OF ALL PLACES! (YOU CAN DO YOUR OWN GOOGLING, FOLKS; VERIFY MY FINDINGS.)

* ACCORDING THE FORBES, CONCERNING THAT NET WORTH OF AROUND $50 MILLION, THE NUMBERS DON'T SEEM TO ADD UP. IT SEEMS THAT ACCORDING TO FORBES RESEARCH THE CLINTONS SHOULD ACTUALLY BE WORTH ABOUT $100 MILLION (BASED UPON THEIR OWN FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES!) - MEANING $50 MILLION IS... er... "MISSING."

* NET WORTH ASIDE, AS PRIVATE CITIZENS BOTH BILL AND HILLARY - AS INDIVIDUALS - HAVE PROVEN TO HAVE THE CAPACITY TO EARN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $15-$20 MILLION PER YEAR... EACH! (AND MORE DURING CERTAIN YEARS!)

* SO... I'VE GOT A SUGGESTION. LET'S TAKE THE $50 MILLION NUMBER. PERHAPS THE CLINTONS SHOULD DONATE $40 OF THAT TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT... TO GO TOWARDS DEBT REPAYMENT.

(*SHRUG*)

* THAT WOULD STILL LEAVE THEM WITH A FORTUNE - A PERSONAL FORTUNE - OF $10 MILLION... PLUS... THE ABILITY TO QUICKLY REPLENISH/REBUILD THEIR ASSETS AT A PACE OF AT LEAST $15-$20 MILLION PER YEAR (AND THAT'S ASSUMING ONLY BILL "WORKS" IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR!)
