WILL SHE EVER JUST GO AWAY? Clinton: 'The rich are not paying their fair share' VIDEO: We prove she's wrong...

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a rare foray into domestic politics today, offering her view that — given America's high unemployment — wealthy Americans don't pay enough taxes.

"The rich are not paying their fair share in any nation that is facing the kind of employment issues [America currently does] — whether it's individual, corporate or whatever [form of] taxation forms," Clinton told an audience at the Brookings Institution, where she was discussing the Administration's new National Security Strategy.

Clinton said the comment was her personal opinion alone. "I'm not speaking for the administration, so I'll preface that with a very clear caveat," she said.

Clinton went on to cite Brazil as a model.

"Brazil has the highest tax-to-GDP rate in the Western Hemisphere and guess what — they're growing like crazy," Clinton said. "And the rich are getting richer, but they're pulling people out of poverty."

Both Clinton and Obama campaigned for president on promises to allow the Bush tax cuts for wealthy Americans expire this year, a plan that is now part of Obama's budget. The move will effectively raise taxes sharply on people earning more than $250,000.

The Administration's new formal strategy document makes the case that domestic economic strength is crucial to influence abroad.


NOTE- How can anyone stomach this woman? She's such a hypocrite and the most annoying kind of phony who makes 'PUMA' members look almost as dumb and naive as Obama supporters are. Anyone who supports a student of Saul Aklinsky is a gigantic IDIOT.

We wish Hillary Clinton would just go away and take her corrupt, egotistical maniac of a husband with her...

Reason TV: Are the rich paying their fair share of taxes?


Not only are the rich paying more than their fair share, almost half of the country isn’t paying income taxes at all. The ObamaCare effort to transform most of the middle class into welfare recipients won’t help restore an actual balance.
