whats fair........................?

Bill & Hillary Clinton paid in taxes and donations about 44% of their earnings over the past ten years

President and Mrs. Bush about 36% in 2007 and currently owe the government for 2007.

the Cheney's about 21% and they too currently owe for 2007.

and people criticize the Clinton's for being successful, is this what we call fair?

Conservative leaders seem to pay a much smaller portion of their income then liberal leaders pay and the conservatives want the wealthy to pay an even smaller portion.

Is this what you call right or fair?

    I wouldn't call it fair...I'd call it typical Republicanism.

    Its not right or fair for people to complain about the Clinton's making more money and writing off more in charitable contributions. Not with the evidence you have hear. It just shows that some people become involved in politics because they believe it is their duty to serve their fellow Americans and that others join politics to control the stream of wealth and make sure it goes straight to them or their friends.

    What made their money your business. Are you a charity awaiting money. It is their business how much they do or do not donate to charity. I can tell you must be a liberal. Here you are complaining that certain people do not give away enough money. How sad.

    You must remember that a Republican's worst nightmare, beyond nuclear war, terrorism, plague and boils on your butt, is a liberal getting rich.

    (less for them).
