Is Snopes somewhat left of center? Are they Hillary! supporters?

I looked up these quotes in Snopes, and while Hillary! certainly said them, they are somewhat apologetic for her and try (lamely) to place context with what she said before and/or after these comments. In some cases, the quote seems even more damning with the pre- and post- parts of her speeches.

Of course! But the constituency who'll eventually vote for socialists like HRC don't pay taxes.

Instead, they like putting their ugly paws into the largess our taxes make possible, thanks to a misguided bunch of Republican politicians failing to correct bureaucratic institutions and waste (especially since 1994).

All working folk should have to pay a minimum tax so that they know exactly who in Washington has hands in their pockets and can vote out all the socialists perpetuating the nanny state.

There a 100% chance that taxes will be raised no matter who is in office.

True enough. We might even have maintained even a supposed Republican majority in Congress if those tax cuts they preened all around about and over were made permanent. I think there is even a RINO campaigning as a supposed conservative that was absolutely against making those TAX CUTs permanent.

I don't mind exposing Hillry as the tax raiser but it is NOT honest to make it sound like she is the only tax raiser amongst US.

All working folk should have to pay a minimum tax....One thing is for sure. The payroll tax on those making up to 18,000 dollars will be eliminated. Those making over that amount will pay over 15% more than now. This has been in the works since Clinton’s first term.

The Fair Tax would cure that!

“Oh...But.....It’s time for a woman to be President!” I suppose if you’re stupid enough to think this and are one of life’s low achievers then Hillary will see that you get more stuff...from your neighbor ....who has no choice in the matter.

My question is why do so many rich people support her?

All I can say after looking at your link is that they certainly seem to have gone the extra mile in their efforts to explain away words which came out of her own mouth.

Hillary Rodham Clinton

I like Laura Ingraham's way of saying her name.

Hillary Rob'em Clinton

If Bush had used a fraction of the pressure that he used on congress to achieve amnesty on getting permanent tax cuts, we’d have that and whole lot more. He selected his battles carefully to concentrate on what was important to HIM, not to America, Americans, the economy, conservatism, elected Republicans, or the Republican party.

Of course all of her net worth, etc. would be exempt from what the little people would face.

You are correct. Putting these quotes “in context” doesn’t help dispel Hilary’s Marxist admissions.

She remains condemned by her own words.

Additional insights into how Hillary might govern can be seen in New York State. Taxes are much higher than most other states and the population has been dwindling for several years because new jobs aren’t created where government is not supportive of business or workers. For the few jobs that are available, salaries are low. Although as President, new taxes will generally hit people in all states, keep in mind that our economy is more globally interdependent than ever before and new taxes will place a burden on the backs of Americans trying to sell goods at a price that is competitive in a global marketplace. For example, if I am making a refrigerator in the US and must sell it at the globally competitive price, higher soc security tax rates that raise my labor costs must be compensated by reducing other costs of production. This means using less labor, offshoring, automating, but can’t mean cheapening the materials or quality of the product because non-US competitors can match that approach and still produce at a lower labor cost.

Look at the manufacturing town of Buffalo New York to see how that plays out. New York City, where many socialist votes and candidates live in symbiotic harmony, is a financial center where high wages are linked to a unique but not easily reproduced economy. Over-regulation and taxation may result in NYC being replaced by London as the financial center of the world. The high tax and high cost environment of NYC may make a socialist think high taxes and costs can be introduced nationwide but a look at New York State outside NYC should quell that notion. Buffalo is a town of faded manufacturing companies and hasn’t experienced the infusion of new technology businesses you see in many places outside New York state.

This may sound preposterous, but I would venture to guess that two things will happen if Hillary Clinton is elected to the White House:

1. Taxes on middle-income and lower-income Americans will be higher when she leaves office than when she takes office.

2. Taxes on upper-income Americans will be lower than when she takes office.

This is exactly what happened in the first Clinton administration, which -- from a fiscal/economic standpoint at least -- was one of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated on liberals in this country. Every tax increase in Clinton's 1993 budget aimed at the middle class is still in place right now, and every tax rate that is paid primarily by upper-income Americans was either lower (capital gains taxes) or the same (income taxes) when he left office.

And it is our job - yours and mine - to see that as many voters as possible know what she is before they cast their votes as the MSM is NOT going to do it for us.
