Hillary Paid 35% Taxes and Gave 11% to Charity -- Bernie? Not so Much

[Yurovsky]

98. Your arrogance & condescension do little to bolster your argument...

And for the record, yes, I do understand how foundations work. I've spent a fair share of my adult life working with many LEGITIMATE foundations focused on doing actual charitable or academic work. And I understand that they run the gamut from transparent to secretive, from serving to the betterment of humanity to serving the interests of a chosen few. I understand the IRS requirements, but I also understand the IRS is grossly understaffed, and politics also plays a role in whose ox is gored.

You may choose to ignore the facts, but they are facts nonetheless. When the Clintons have an associate in need of a revenue stream requiring little or no work, they crack a hammer on the CGI piggy bank. Sidney wants a job at State but Barry says "no"? Why, put him on the CGI payroll! Huma's hubby gets into hot water sexting pee-pee pics and loses his sweet House gig? Why, give Huma another title & a paycheck to go along with it! And who the fuck wants to fly coach like Jimmy Carter? That's got "loser" written all over it... chartered jets are the only way to fly if you're going to globetrot and shake down foreign political and business leaders! And since it's free, that means there's more cash in the "personal finance" account to buy another 30 or 40 snazzy pantsuits in every color imaginable! And sensible shoes to be worn once before being tossed to the adoring peasants who will vote for me because, well, they're old and not real smart and somehow think Hill & Bill give a rat's ass about them when they are 30,000 feet in the air sipping Cabernet and negotiating the next big windfall from some corrupt government in the developing world who wants in on the jet-set CGI lifestyle, and thinks the ROI from CGI far exceeds anything outside of maybe Hillary's magic touch in futures trading...

Sorry, it's corrupt to the core, and anyone who isn't licking dogshit off HRC's sensible shoes understands that. And by cloaking it within a tax-exempt foundation, they get to party like its 1999 while simultaneously ensuring that none of that money is taxed and put to use, gee, I don't know, feeding the hungry or housing the poor. And if you surround yourself with enough layers of well-connected lawyers, you don't really have to concern yourself with whether it's right or wrong. As long as nobody is convicted of anything, it's all good, right?

I don't know how some of you people sleep at night.
