Awww…Chelsea looks so pretty and happy. Congrats to the newlyweds.
Why would an ostensibly liberal web site celebrate the wedding of 2 investment bankers?
Delacrat must be miserable to live with.
Delacrat, lol u mad?
We are congratulating the daughter and son in law of the current Secretary of State and the former President of the United States.
He probably also finds some misdeed by Israel in all this.
a.price, please don’t get him started.
Whenever I see a picture of Chelsea I’m struck by how much she looks like both her mother and her father.
me too! i would have bet money Hillary wasn’t the mother
And we should care about this Gilded Age extravaganza because…?
Oh, I get it — we should be outraged by the conspicuous spending of the wealthy on the wedding of their over-privileged children when the government ought to have taxed that wealth away and redistributed it to the poor. Hope and change and all that stuff!
At last, Observer says something worth agreeing with! BTW, you sure say a lot for an “observer.”
Observer, Bill Clinton himself has said he wants his taxes to go up. And I agree with him. That said, I do not see the connection between the Clinton’s net worth or what Chelsea and Marc do for a living and wishing them congratulations on their wedding.
For contrary to what you conservatives would have us believe, I, as a liberal, do not hate the wealthy. I just want them to pay their fair share of taxes. That’s all.
DD — there is nothing keeping Bill Clinton from paying the federal government every penny he thinks it ought to get from him. Well, other than his personal hypocrisy, which keeps him from writing that check without the jackboot of government pressing upon his neck as he is forced to write it for the full amount he believes is just. Ditto every other liberal who believes he/she does not pay enough taxes. Here’s all he (and perhaps you) need to do if he believes he is not paying his fair share.
Citizens who wish to make a general donation to the U.S. government may send contributions to a specific account called “Gifts to the United States.” This account was established in 1843 to accept gifts, such as bequests, from individuals wishing to express their patriotism to the United States. Money deposited into this account is for general use by the federal government and can be available for budget needs. These contributions are considered an unconditional gift to the government. Financial gifts can be made by check or money order payable to the United States Treasury and mailed to the address below.

Well, that’s an interesting little nugget, Observer. Tell you what, lets make the entire tax code voluntary. Hey, lets go one step further and allow people to just pay for government programs they like. You can pay for the wars and the defense department and torture, and I can pay for Social Security and healthcare.
To thinking people, this is an interesting fantasy. To the Republicans, it is sound tax policy.
Odd — I pointed out a program that dates back to the 19th century that allows anyone who feels undertaxed to pony up that additional cash. You then set up a strawman argument about running government on nothing but donations. A pity you couldn’t engage my point on its merits instead — namely there is an answer for all those poor souls out there who complain their taxes are too low and they really owe the government more than it demands from them.
The reality is that when someone like Bill Clinton (or Bill Gates Sr.) starts saying “my taxes are too low and I ought to be taxed more,” what they really mean is “YOUR taxes are too low and I think that you ought to have more of your money taken to pay for the programs that make my conscience feel better.”
Fact is, Observer, we think you should pay more taxes, too. You sure whine a lot for an “observer.”
no he pontificates:)
Exactly — you don’t really believe YOU are undertaxed. But if you do, you ought to be writing that check and sending it to the address above each year in order to have the moral high ground. That you don’t tells me that you really don’t believe you are undertaxed, OR that you are unable to stand up for your own moral principles without government coercion. The one makes you a liar, and the other makes you a hypocritical worm.
And I conclude Observer that you sir are just a common ordinary run of the mill idiot:) But I do find you amusing.
A three million dollar wedding ? I wonder if he still feels our pain.
FBH: I wonder if he still feels up girls his daughter’s age?
JPC: What? For suggesting that those who say they feel they are not giving the government enough money ought to voluntarily stand by their principles and pay the amount they feel they are undertaxed? Or for asserting that folks who do not either do not really believe they are undertaxed or are simply hypocrites? Could you explain yourself more fully?
Im happy with my taxes where they are…. actually i have doen the math and a smaller percentage comes out now that Obama is president.
I of course filed my Socialist Anti American paper work and i believe that you, Observer, are the one who was chosen to have your taxes raised to offset what i am no longer paying. Thank you, from the bottom of my “deep enough to pay the bill” wallet.
btw, speaking as a Jew I have to hand it to Mark Mezvinski for scoring a top notch Shicksah wife. Mozel tov!!
Let them eat Cake! A three million dollar wedding? You gotta be kidding me. In this DEpression, we have a former President and Secretary of State upstaging even the richest in Hollywood weddings? Come on you people need to get your heads on straight. We the taxpayers got to pay for all that secret service, thinking Billiary and Hilliary should have paid, not us. How did Billy and Hilly get all that money? They were broke when they entered office…gee being ex pres must mean you walk away with millions. I gotta a question for Billiary? Where the hell is that 14billion pledged to Haiti? Nothing is being rebuilt, tent cities abound, people are dying every day…and Bill and Bush control the funds?
We are not in a Depression. We are not even in a Recession anymore. We would be in a Depression if the Republicans had their way and the government did nothing. But the government action taken by President Obama and the Democrats in Congress saved this country from a coming Depression created by Bush and the Republicans.
Oh right! All those 99ners know its a DEpression, no matter the repukes caused it! If you truly believe the economy is turning around, got a bridge to sell ya. Tell all these people who are losing their homes, millions more coming its not a depression. Tell the people applying for jobs when there are 6 or more vying for the same position, its not a DEpression. Its not a DEpression if YOU have a job, but for the rest…they are DEPRESSED.
“I’m going to make an argument about you staying out of my wallet by looking into yours!”
Blah blah blickety mother f@*#ing blah
ummm – COMEDY- 3 million for 500 person wedding – chump change really – is actually pretty cheap – thats not even a pittance to those Wall street gurus that are still taking exhorbitant bonuses – trust me, I know
and THINK about all the folkes that benefitted – the owners of the estate – the groundskeepers, the maids, the servers, the security people, the cook, the chefs, the caterers, the flower providers, the delivery drivers, the net profit of all the gifts bought…etc
the Clinton wedding in itself supported a whole raft of people in their businesses – its own economic boom.
I mean isn’t that why Bush gave that money back to tax payers?? to spend?? to stimulate the economy
so the Clintons spend their own money, stimulate a small army of folks economically, and you have a problem with it???
but you dont want the Tax cuts to expire beecause the rich won’t have a lot to spend and that is BAD for the economy??
Im confused – and have a headache – are you really THAT DUMB??
As a percentage of income, I doubt $3million was that big of a deal. I have attended many weddings where it was pretty obvious that the parents were spending in excess of 50% of their annual income.
Besides, it’s Bill’s only daughter (that he knows of).
IAAC: You don’t get to call it whatever YOU want to. A recession means the economy stops growing. The economy is growing. Whine all you want, but words mean what they mean, not what you insist they do. Or do you share with right-wingers more traits than you care to acknowledge?
