News Flash: Clinton is rich.

Clinton said it is "unconscionable" that the United States has not toughened car emission standards, and he objected to the president's efforts to permanently repeal the estate tax. An estate tax on the richest one percent of Americans could raise $25 million to $40 million a year, enough to wipeout extreme poverty around the globe in a decade.

Clinton noted he is one of those rich Americans and that taxes are in some respect a duty.

Ever since Clinton left the White House in '01, he likes to go around telling people how rich he is... He puts that fact in nearly every speech he gives.
