The Clintons' tax retunrs

There is no denying the Clintons have ascended the ladder of the wealthy by revealing tax declarations of the last 7 years. On a scale of 1 to 100, they are fairly low on the rungs of millionaires. Had the press cleaned out clogged ears or opened blinkered eyes, it might recall that Bill Clinton publicly put it this way: Herr Bush's tax cuts and legislation benefitting the well heeled had made him a richer man. The media should look at the horrible impoverishment Herr Bush's war against one and all but the rich has weakened the US. Yesterday's publishing of a poll saying 81 per cent of Americans think Herr Bush has led the country down the mulberry path simply confirms that. But since the media are in the hands of the super rich conglomerate who control sources of news, little wonder we don't read nor know about that. Little wonder news has become newspeak or idle chatter. And the US is sorrier for that.
