Clinton’s Rich. Also, sky blue.

After months of bobbing, weaving and excusing, the Clinton’s released their tax returns. They are apparently almost twice as rich as was previously thought, with over 108 million dollars made in the last 8 years alone.

I guess we’ll have to wait for the more mathematically inclined bloggers to explain it to us, but I can’t see why they waited so long. They are filthy rich, but that has never bothered voters in their presidential candidates. They have business dealings with some company in Dubai and somewhat shady issues with a consulting company and their own charity, but if shady economic issues mattered, the Clinton clan would have fallen long before.

    I just think it’s a timing issue. This isn’t going to play as a positive, so there is no reason to get it out sooner. Maybe only a few people care about their level of wealth, but why alienate anyone you don’t have to. Maybe they thought they could wrap up the nomination, then release the tax returns when no one really cared anymore.

    Economically, the Clinton’s don’t want to return to the Clinton years.

    Heh, good point, Interested. How would they answer the question: "Are you better off now than you were eight years ago?"
