I think you are way off here. Compare what Bush made in 2000 to what Clinton made his first year in office, and then you have a fair comparison. Then compare what Bush makes now compared to what the Clintons make now. Then factor in that Bush is Bush, one income, while the Clintons are Bill and Hillary - a former President AND a former Secretary of State.
What they made before they ran isn't too important. What tax rate they paid is.
