90. No, Not A Subsidy...It Was A Tax Cut
Sure sounds like sour grapes. So should they give the $2 million or whatever (the amount from what I've seen is still speculation) to a homeless shelter? To you? Again, this is a private wedding with money the Clintons earned legally and how they spend it...especially on a special occasion...is no one's business. Attempting to "shame" shows an agenda not a point.

I've been and am highly critical of the boooosh tax cuts but it surely wasn't a "subsidy"...that came through the corporate welfare arm that spent billions off the books (including two wars for profit). You ask why do they have so much cash? From my knowledge both parents wrote best-sellers and have earned big money in speaking fees...they didn't take it from some public funding.

Your outrage over tax inequality has merit, but it should be directed at those who enacted those laws than those who took advantage of it.
