What was missed that plays big in the examination of the “rich” (or the 1%) is the unintended effects of Bill Clinton’s “millionaires tax.”

In 1993, Bill Clinton and the Congress pass a special “millionaires tax” directed at top company management (but there was a special exception for Hollywood and sports stars).

Companies responded by capping the salaries of management at $1 million, but proceeded to make up the “difference” with stock options. What resulted was described by PBS’s FrontLine as the “biggest transfer of wealth in the history of the world” as roughly 10% of company equity passed from the stockholders (which include pension, retirement and mutual funds held by 90% of all Americans) to the top levels of management in the Fortune 500 companies.

This isn’t what Bill Clinton and the Congress had intended, but it is what happened. They had unwittingly enabled those at the top to become richer.

Dang, Limerick. I got as far as 50 incher and had to do a double-take. ooooh, TV.

Something about a Clintonfest that puts my mind in the gutter.

The ads on this site are killing it. They are very hard to close and they occasionally crash on windows platform. You cannot even close them on a portable device. Please change to normal ads or will have to stop viewing.

a return to the “failed policies of the past.”

Hmm. As governor, Romney cut the MA state budget from $3B deficit to $16M. Doesn’t quite sound like a failed policy from the past.

Bill Clinton once said to Teddy Kennedy ” A few years ago this guy would have been carrying our bags.”

Now Clinton appears on command to carry Obama’s water.

..you know, you guys kid but that stupid little scrunt is so-o-o-o-o smitten with Dem luminaries, it would not surprise if she did the roundheel number for The Cohibatator.

Still, all of that said, dragging his sorry ass in to polish Obama’s turd is the acme of pathetic.

I wonder if Clinton will have Juanita Broderick, Kathern Willey, Elizabeth Ward, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinski join him on stage..like the Olympians at the RNC.

War on Women. Indeed.

Is he still disbarred?

mattshu on September 5, 2012 at 7:52 PM

Be careful using the word “bar” in any sentence about Bill Clinton. Even more dangerous than using the last name of America’s sluttiest law student.
