A few reasons come to mind,
1) "charitable giving", you really think that old slick Willy and Hilly would be absolutely totally honest and ethical? Did you realize that their own family foundation is considered a charity? The New York Times is reporting,
"The Clintons took a tax deduction in 2004 for $2.5 million in charitable gifts, $2 million of which went to their family foundation, which as a tax-exempt nonprofit is considered a charity under the tax code. That same year, the foundation gave away just $221,000 to charitable groups, according to its tax return."
2) Foreign Investments
In 2006 the Clinton's foreign investments netted them a tax credit worth $285,368. In a media release on the campaign web site dated 4/2/08 it states: "Senator Clinton will eliminate the tax incentives and lax enforcement that make it easier to ship jobs and capital overseas"
3) Plus, there's the issues with
Yucaipa Global ($15 Million in payouts to Bill and offshore Cayman accounts)
InfoUSA (campaign donation scandal)
Quellos (offshore tax shelters)
