Now how in the world did two individuals, devoted as only "servants of the people", become so fabulously wealthy? Was there some miracle business/corporation created in there somewhere that created all of this wealth?
How come Harry Truman did not become so wealthy during and after his presidency?
The Clintons are parasites. They claim to be for the middle class and poor. They like to pretend that they are one of us, but the reality is that they are elites snobs.

And yet every liberal overlooks the profits that the Clintons have amassed, many of which has come from "pay for play" political favors.
Here is what Truman said about such situations:
"I have a very strong feeling about any man who has the honor of being an occupant of the White House in the greatest job in the history of the world, who would exploit that situation in any way, shape or form."
Bernie, who has been in politics for 40 years, has a net worth of $400,000. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa0 recently retired after 26 years in politics and went from a net worth of $450,000 to $27 million as a "servant of the people". Keep in mind he did not even live in the US (Bahamas) for his last 12 years of "service", keeping only a shell apartment in Iowa to maintain residency.
Bottom Line: It might be a little disingenuous and hypocritical for Hillary Clinton to complain about excessive CEO pay when her minimum speaking fee, reportedly $225,000 for a one-hour talk, is more than the $216,000 average annual CEO salary in 2014. We could say how unfair it is that the average CEO in America has to work a full year, 50 weeks full-time, to earn the same income that Mrs. Clinton earns in about 50 minutes giving a speech! How unfair! How immoral! Something must be

What businesses did George H. Bush or Ronald Reagan ever have?
The Clintons net worth has never been reported any where near $500,000 million, other than in your mind. Where are you getting your stats?
And btw, it came from books and speeches. Just like Reagan's after he left the WH.
Hillary Clinton is simply exercising her right to free speech and enjoying the fruits of capitalism.
Why do people get upset that people are paying money to listen to her speak? If they didn't want to listen to her, they would not pay her to speak. If she gets enormous sums of money (she is ridiculously overpaid, I believe) then this only means she is in great demand.
I wouldn't pay a dollar to listen to her speak, but thats just me.

Was it captalism that brought hillary her fame?
She hasn't done an honest day's work in her entire life, but you go ahead and keep holding her in high esteem as someone who champions the downtrodden lol
