How about those with a similar desire just put this thread on the ignore list.
The majority of the content is just the pont and counterpoint of the mocking and name calling with no added value to concerns what so ever.

For me I am done with this thread.

You definitely have to be a Faux News devotee with your "fair and balanced" statement that all you care to hear is anti-Clinton rhetoric.

No reason at all that the people "at the top" and giant corporations should not be paying a higher percentage of taxes than others.

Sec. Clinton has the right idea but it will be a hard thing to get through Congress after she becomes President on January 20, 2017.

Take a look at the tax rate for corporations in the US before you speak. Why do you think corporations are moving their corporate headquarters overseas.
Why don't you ask John Kerry where his yacht is moored...it isn't Ma because of taxes. Why do you want to punish those people, through their own hard work and initiative, that made it. Have you ever collected a paycheck from someone who was broke....good luck in cashing that check! I always here the BS about paying your fair share, funny nobody says what it is. How about those who have "NO SKIN" in the game as they watch their flat screen TV, talk on their free phone, get free food using a card ect. ect ect!

The I've got mine but screw you attitude so many have today is not what America used to be about. In my opinion.

So, Hillary wants to raise taxes.....what is she going to do with the money! I didn't hear her say it would go in a lockbox to only pay off the NATIONAL DEBT!!!!!

In searching around for true accomplishments both for Ms Clinton and the Republican field, because it seems to be important to posters, I found a short, un note worthy article which I found interesting. It was posted on a conservative site to be sure, and that needs to be acknowledged up front.

It was a discussion between a woman, Susan Miligan of US News and World Report and Chris Mathews.

What was quite interesting to me, was being aware of Chris Mathews and his politics, that being an outspoken apologist for the Democratic party for years and his comments.

The link I will post takes you to a video as well as an article, thus be assured nothing is being edited or in any way unsaturated for this thread.

The article appeared this past MAY.....and began with this....

"Last week, Bloomberg News’ Mark Halperin asked a panel of Iowa Democrats to name one accomplishment from Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State. Just one little accomplishment… One? Something? ANYTHING?

A grand total of zero panel members could recall a single noteworthy accomplishment of Mrs. Clinton’s. But we should cut them some slack because they’re not wrong.


Ms. Milligan defended her by saying this...

"On Hardball with Chris Matthews’ Milligan said the question posed to the Iowa Democratic panel was “unfair.”


“I think most people could not look at a Secretary of State and point to an accomplishment. Frankly, mostly what a Secretary of State does is keep something from becoming a massive crisis so, that in a way wasn’t a terribly fair question,” said Milligan."

What struck me was Chris Mathews response. It was NOT a reading of things that Ms Clinton had done or even a defense of her.

This is what he responded....

"But in this particular case Chris Matthews makes a solid closing argument, “Obama didn’t have a big accomplishment before he got elected.”

It

Now, if one of the strongest advocates for the Democratic party had only this to say is telling for sure. If, his point is valid, then the discussion which oft times is rebuffed by those who support her that her character, etc should really matter.

I took the challenge of someone who posted that we should all google HILLARY CLINTON ACCOMPLISHMENTS. It was not overwhelming at all and in fact, has a lot of these terms in the links "instrumental" and "played a leading role".

I might add that the links themselves were not impressive places. I think the only non partisan site referred to was REAL POLITICS and it was another rehash of even Democrats searching for those accomplishments. Hillary Clinton's Accomplishment Deficit | RealClearPolitics

So, I am surely open for any conversation that might point to her accomplishments and discussion of them.

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.

Hillary Clinton ran for senate twice in New York state and won both times.

Try googling Sarah Palin Accomplishments - you know, the one you Cons were all drooling over a few years ago and ran for VP. Scan her ..... ahem .... accomplishments.

Google Jeb Bush accomplishments - you can count them on one hand.

Google Donald Trump accomplishments - hint, hint ........ filing for bankruptcy four times is NOT an accomplishment.

Google Piyush Jindal accomplishments - hint, hint, ......... leading your stateh as CEO to be last in education, and last in health care for seniors would probably NOT be something to campaign on.

Google .......... well, you get the idea by now.

Isn't Google a bunch of liberal indoctrinated sheep.

Isn't NY full of liberal democrats? Question should be what did she do for NY except raise the debt like all the other liberal democrats running NY for the last unteen years. So, why wouldn't she get elected by the liberal indoctrinated blind sheep voting state.

If winning an off year senate election in New York with a last name of Clinton, is your support for Ms Clinton, then her problems are much worse than some imagine.

I assume you are making the point that she won this election based on her past resume of outstanding service as the First Lady ????

I am sure the name had NOTHING to do with anything !!

I think it was the upstate hillbillies that elected her.
