Why don't they give some back? Think of all the homeless, poor and deprived people in this country. There are children going to bed hungry. Why do they want you to send YOUR money when they have so much? Or did they turn into greedy right wingers?

Liberals, such as Bill and Hillary, are only generous with OTHER people's money, never with their own.
Bill and Hillary were STILL begging for "Legal Defense Fund" money even after their book deals were signed.
Who can forget Algore's $260 in charity donations on an income of over $400,000 one of his last years as VP?
Even the great Oprah doesn't spend a dime of HER money on all of these 'giveaways' she has on her show, including the cars she 'gave' away to a bunch of people in her audience one day.
Just because the Clintons are now worth millions, why would that disqualify them from being liberals? Look at Hollywood...Barbara Streisand...Rob Reiner..Ben Affleck... Michael Moore is worth millions, thanks in part to owning Haliburton stock hee hee... George Soros... Ralph Nader (a multi millionaire who acts like he doesn't have two nickels to rub together...what DOES he do for a living?)... the Kennedy family, none of whom have ever worked a day in their lives (except JFK Jr., who's no longer with us...he's the only Kennedy who ever actually had a job).... Katie Couric's got a few bucks... Dan Rather... Tom Brokaw... the late Peter Jennings...Ted Koppel.. Larry King (don't know how much he gets to keep with all them there ex-wives walkin around out there)....
So being wealthy doesn't make a person conservative, despite the 'rich Republican' stereotype... eight of the ten wealthiest Senators are Democrats...Jay Rockefeller...JOHN KERRY... Herb Kohl... John Corzine (who's now Gov of NJ)...
In fact, had Kerry received a few million more votes, he would have been the third wealthiest President this country has ever had (granted, the money is his wife's, not his...and ironically, she inherited the money herself from HER first husband, . John Heinz, a Republican Senator, who was killed in a plane crash... ).
Don't get me wrong, Kerry himself isn't poor by any means...he is a trust-fund kid himself. But it's Teresa's money that would put Kerry on the list of wealthiest President ever... Here is Forbes Magazine's list of the wealthiest Presidents ever..
1) George Washington (No official party affiliation)
2) John F. Kennedy (Democrat)
3) Andrew Jackson (Democrat)
4) Lyndon Johnson (Democrat)
5) Herbert Hoover (Republican)
Had Kerry won, he would slip in there between Kennedy and Jackson, knocking the only Republican out of the top five.

They're socialists, globalists, combined capitalist-communists. And yes, Acceptance, there are plenty of Communists in the USA. Uncover some of the secrets of the Democrats and you may shudder in horror at what you find. Communism did not die with the falling of the Berlin Wall. It just went deeper underground and now wears a different mask. In the USA it's called Liberalism.

Just don't mention that the very richest people in America are Democrats, as well as the very poorest.
You may not also want to mention that the top 8 out of 10 richest people in congress are Democrats..
It would throw their whole reason for being out the window and they would have one less thing to cry about.

I also have a million dollar bill with Woodrow Wilson on front and the gold certificate dated 1934.I think it is the novelty bill they are talking about. Is it worth any money, I will go to the federal reserve with mine

Don't be surprised that the democrats are rich. They just prey on the poor to get votes. They like to use scare tactics to make them think republicans are out to make poor people suffer. They are all lawyers at least 90% are and come from rich families. However, there are some african-american dem. leaders that come from poor backgrounds - I think.

Bill & Hillary have "given back" more in taxes THIS YEAR than you will in your entire life, in all likelihood!
Liberals want your money. Republicans want your SOUL.
Vote Democrat, get a good accountant!

The phrase is "fiscal republicans" and you are mistakenly thinking that greed is a partisan value. Greed is something all humans posess, so I don't believe it would make the Clintons fiscal republicans. Still, we'd all feel better if they donated some of their wealth to a valuable cause.

Hey, my family brings in about 25,000 a year and we're republicans. So, don't call us greedy.

Most celebrities are liberals. Doesn't mean they will "change stripes" just because of money.

What makes you think they don't give back?
And who ever said liberals can't have money?
