You should know better than reference that 47% that don't pay taxes argument. Freeloaders! That never had legs. Bonnie Lee, Fox Business broke down the makeup of the 47%. Here it is:
.
10.3% elderly. That is us. Our pensions and social security don't rise to the point that we have to pay taxes.

6.9% do not work or make much less than $9,500, and don't have to file, some of the ultra rich avoid paying taxes through loopholes, students living with parents receiving money through student aid, Armed Forces who receive non-taxable combat zone pay.

28.3% pay payroll taxes (social security/Medicare) have jobs, which are very low pay or part time. They receive the Earned Income Credit.

<1% others.

Fox News isn't all bad.

Rich people do not demonize poor people. No. They just buy of politicians due to Citizens United. Raising taxes by closing loopholes is not an accurate statement. If they are avoiding taxes by something in the tax law that lets them do it, that is not a loophole. That's the law. A loophole is when you get legally around the law, because what you did wasn't considered or missed, when the law was written.

What are some of Hillary's accomplishments? Staying with Bill after she found out what he did on his coffee breaks. The Clinton Foundation, which is primarily Bill's, does provide 89% of their donations doing charitable work. If you are going demean her for having anything to do with foundation. Then, you have to give her some credit for the work the foundation is accomplishing. Unless, of course, you are living on a one way street.

Her bipartisan act in voting for the Iraq war. One reporter went so far to state, that she went out and convinced other democrats to vote for it. He gave the impression that she was responsible Iraq war. No! I don't remember, who wrote the article, and I am not going to look for it.

I am not a Hillary fan. She has gone a long way on the Clinton name. She has been running for president, since husband ran and got elected. She did work with Bill, when he was president. Some of the things he accomplished, she should receive for, just a little. She tried to get health care for all. So, you know she wasn't sitting on her hands during those eight years.
