Chelsea Clinton wedding today
A few hours from now, Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezinsky will wed. Mezvinskly works at G3 Capital as a hedge fund manager and was a former investment banker at Goldman Sachs - obviously exploiting the tax-payer bailout of the financial industry in order to buy a $1 million engagement ring for Chelsea.
Chelsea herself has hedge fund experience at Avenue Capital Group.
In the meantime, mother of the bride Hillary Clinton has taken time off from South American trips where she says Americans don't pay enough taxes - in order to take $3 million or so out of the $100+ million Clinton fund to pay for the wedding.
Also, Barbra Streisand is probably taking time off from saying Elton John is a sellout for singing at Rush Limbaugh's wedding a few weeks ago in order to attend (and likely sing?) at Chelsea's wedding.
Unknown if John Kerry will attend or travel to Rhode Island where he has docked his tax-free $7 million yacht "Isabel".
When there is a need to do things like extend unemployment benefits to 400 weeks, why should any of these people be allowed to keep more than say $1,000,000 - with everything else taxed at 95% by the government? Even though they proclaim that government needs to create more and more programs, I'm noticing that they aren't exactly rushing to give their money away to either the government or to more worthy charitable organizations like the American Red Cross.
