link Clinton: Rich 'Not Paying Their Fair Share' in Taxes Published May 28, 2010 | FOXNews.com Print Email Share Comments (159) Text Size Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaks before signing an agreement at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing May 25. (AP Photo) The rich are not being taxed enough and the economy is suffering for it, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday. 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. "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. 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." Clinton cautioned that she was not speaking for the Obama administration as a whole. While the president wants to phase out the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy, he has persistently battled the perception that his policies will lead to across-the-board taxes for more than just the rich. The president said at a Democratic Party fundraiser last month that anti-tax Tea Party activists should "be saying thank you" to him for the tax cuts passed by his administration. |

wonder if she, rangle and their other cronies want to pony up any of the surplus fortunes? oh wait.  Yeah, exactly who are these rich people, Mrs. Clinton? Let's see the receipts for the extra gifts she's given to the IRS to make up for her "fair share." Or is she mooching off the sweat and blood of the working class like all these other fat capitalists?

| When will the sheeple figure out that being poor is a mental sickness? It is a state of mind, not a fiscal issue. Granted, there are cases where a health crisis or something similar can cause it. Unless you fit this group, you are poor because you make STUPID CHOICES! |

Or is she mooching off the sweat and blood of the working class like all these other fat capitalists? Whats wrong with capitalist? Capitalist and capitalism is what built this, the greatest of nations. Its the socialist pinko scumbags like her that are destroying it. As far as Brazil goes, she did not do her home work. Yes they have high taxes and yes their economy is growing at a rate of 1.9 %. What she failed to mention is their average income per capita is around $7,000.00 per year and their inflation rate is 7.7%. The Brazilian people grow poorer by the minute due to high taxes and inflation. It is a statistical fact that every time taxes are raised in this country, government revenue falls and the economy tanks. Every time taxes are lowered, government revenue goes up and the economy grows. This old hag thinks the government (her included) can better spend your money than you can. If you agree with that, move your ass to Venezuela. |
