Saying Anything to Win

Ahh, Hillary, careful what you say!

"We also have to reward work more," Clinton told a small group of Ohio residents today. "and by that, I mean, I have people in New York working on Wall Street as investment managers, as hedge fund executives. Under the tax code, they can pay a lower percentage of their income in taxes on $50 million dollars, than a teacher, or a nurse, or a truck driver in Parma pays on $50,000. That's very discouraging to people."

But,

The former first lady's daughter, Chelsea Clinton, works for New York-based hedge fund Avenue Capital Group. She previously worked in New York for McKinsey & Company, her first job after graduating with her master's degree from Oxford University.

Hillary Clinton is either ignorant about what her own daughter does, or so desperate to win at this point that she'll say anything. Can you imagine the firestorm that a Republican would have incurred for having a child with a position different than theirs?

(just google: dick cheney daughter hypocrite -- and read a few of the 102,000 results).
