Only in American can you work for this country, without pay, for roughly 20 years (CLINTON GROUP)

and still be called greedy. Give up a lucrative public speaking circuit, for a job that pays in one year, what you could make in a few short days, and still be called greedy. I do not understand how some people minds work.

I don't recall Hillary ever getting a pay check as FL of Arkansas or as FLOTUS.
If I am wrong could someone correct me?


Sorry for the major cranky, the weather is playing hell with my joints, and I wake up to more people on the internet(s) screaming about how greedy, and owned, this woman is by interests who paid her next to nothing, compared to what she has brought in, in campaign donations. If anyone owns her it's the people of this country who have made all those small donations to her campaigns. I really think I need to put myself in DU timeout! My BS threshold is really overloaded today!

Ok...I feel better now. Hope everyone had a great day!

She registered voters in South Texas. The list goes on and on, greedy is not a correct description of Hillary and again she is willing to work for Americans when she could do better in the private market, she is very giving.

Thousands and thousands and thousands who toil away and are never rewarded financially.

Then we have the best of the best at the top, and we can't even imagine the stress, the hours, the lifestyle.

It's like Tom Brady and the rest of the New England Patriots.

Brady gets the big bucks and all the shit!

I don't begrudge Hillary anything!

She has devoted most of her life to this country, anyone who doesn't see it, doesn't WANT to see it.

What I mean is that when you recommend something, you are saying 'hey, everyone should read this'. But you don't want everyone to respond, only people who agree with you. It's a way of getting contentious statements out there without having to defend them, It's an abuse of the recommendation system, in my opinion.

It's not an abuse when the Bernie Panders group does the same thing?
