But can anyone still claim that the Clintons understand the common man now?
Who said the common man wants to eat rich people for dinner? That's propaganda. Majority of common man just wants a fair deal. Class wars are BS because if they were true Robin Hoods would have eliminated them wholesale already.
Correct, usually the donor will pay however it can be requested that the donee pay instead... it is acceptable to IRS, so you are saying the Clintons are going to pay the gift tax??
A wedding is not a gift.... so, I'm guessing "no." And no, a giftor can't just shift the tax burden to the recipient upon request. Gifts are not taxable income, period.
I have a question... will Chelsea claim the 3 Million dollar wedding as a TAXABLE gift event? I mean her parents are paying, isn't that a "gift" and shouldn't it be taxed? Or is Chelsea going to conveniently forget the gift... I am sure Chelsea hasn't worked enough to earn 3 Million but I could be wrong...
I would assume that this is after tax money.
I don't see the problem.
Alternately, you can tax every wedding if that's what you think is fair.
The one at the local firehall should have a tax as well.
Do you pay taxes on every party you have?

Why would a wedding be considered a "gift"? It's a family celebration. This one just happens to be grand, becuse they can afford it. At least, they are staying within their means, not borrowing on the house as many people do.
Is a birthday party for a member of your family a gift?
When Tricia Nixon got married, it was a 2-hour event that was broadcast on live television. Imagine how right-wingers would have been howling if Chelsea Clinton had done something like that.
On Saturday Chelsea Clinton is set to marry her investment-banker boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky at a posh private estate 90 miles north of Manhattan.
The hotly anticipated, highly secretive affair has been called the Wedding of the Decade and of the Century.
Extravagant and notable events like that don't come cheap.
Experts in all things nuptial ballpark the cost of Bill and Hillary Clinton's little girl's big day at anywhere from $3 million to $5 million.
That's a lotta lettuce. And wedding cake.
"I don't think we've seen a wedding with this much attention since Patricia Nixon," says Donnie Brown, a wedding planner featured in "Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?" on the Style Network.
"This will definitely be the biggest wedding of the year."
At the more conservative cost of $3 million, that's a half-million behind Liza Minnelli and David Gest and a cool $1 million ahead of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
But this is different from your garden-variety superstar wedding, experts concur. This union includes world leaders and, well, Oprah
And Hillary wants us to believe that this is a small wedding...just for Chelsey's friends...
Democrates really believe we are stupid and believe everything they say...do they even believe them self?
Don't get me wrong...I'm for free markets and Capitalism and if they have the money why not spent it so others can make some money....the thing that is bothering me is that the people in the government not seem to get that so many hardly have food, are standing in line for food banks, lost their job or had pay cuts.
$ 500 K for flowers....wow, nice for the shop that is selling them..if they get paid!
Well, now we know, don't we:

Some wedding planners had speculated that the cost of the celebration could run to seven or even eight figures, but a longtime Clinton family friend said the cost would be less than $1 million. Chelsea Clinton weds longtime beau in New York - CNN.com
No way in the world. She is politically useless. If anything, she's been a liability to her parents.
She's also nothing but a spoiled little snob. The Bush twins have a better chance at the White House.
I agree also chelseas recent wedding cost her aging parents over 3 million dollars. Must be nice to just blow 3 mill.
