So, please point-out where Ms. Clinton or her husband (who earns a reported $2 million a year) have been phony? No you're not "against capitalism." You're just against Americans. A true American Taliban, it seems to me.

No but she made here money on her name/connections of her family and ideally you that shouldn't occur in government. Bush family is the same way, Kennedy's etc.

No. But I'm against people making millions via their connections to government insiders and nepotism.

Likely it is her money. But she's been provided lucrative opportunities that go far beyond what her credentials would obtain in the marketplace, because of her name and connections. Bush daughters the same thing, Luke Russert...etc.

She has nothing to do with government, unlike the Bush and Kennedy families.

Did it ever occur to you that she is quite capable of doing the jobs that she has had? She has advantages that few have and she uses them, why shouldn't she? If you had connections that would elevate you in life would you not take advantage of them? One would have to be a fool not to.

She was hired as a reporter for NBC with no past experience.

It really shocks you people are hired because of their family name and family connections?

I haven't seen Chelsea's W-2, so I can't speak to how she makes her money. She currently holds a master's in International affairs and is working on her doctorte.

So I dont really think she is "cashing in" on her name... say like that palin girl or the Bush twin on NBC.
I would guess that mommy and daddy Clinton have gifted her some substantial jack...but she is their only child, so I dont see nothing wrong in that.
