The news media has made a great deal out of the Clintons giving over $10 million dollars to charitable organizations. However, most of it has gone to the Clinton Family Foundation as this article will clearly show and a schedule attached to their 2006 tax return will show. The Washington Post's article referenced below deals with the fact that Senator Clinton did not report the foundation on her Senator disclosure statement . She claims it was a clerical error on her staff's part. One time maybe but five times, give me a break. All three of the Clintons are listed as officers of the Clinton Family Foundation. The Washington Post article also states that the Clintons did not receive any salary from the Foundation , yet the 2003 tax return shows $655,942 in wages. Hillary did not receive this amount in salary from her Senator job. Bill Clinton's pension is not included in this amount, it is on line 16 of the tax return, so what accounts for the additional amounts?
It is clear that the tax returns have raised questions about the Clintons personal finances that they would wished they did not have to address. Lack of transparency is the hallmark of the Clintons and the Bushes. The first Clinton Administration was riddle with scandals. The Second Bush Administration hid the truth from the American People and got America into a war. The Second Clinton Administration will be based upon running from sniper fire in Bosnia; a blatant lie not just a misspeak. Does America really want or need another administration that will tell us anything but the truth and be riddle with scandals?
