Hillary wins in the high income brackets. Why?

[Bonobo]

Even in the states she lost in, Hillary only won in the above $200,000 per year brackets.

Ask yourself why.

Then ask: Is she actually on MY side?

[onehandle]

1. Bernie Sanders' net worth is more than 99% of us.

Is he actually on OUR side?

[Bonobo]

4. I don't think that is correct. Show me the numbers or source that claim.

I call bullshit.

Do you think a net worth of 1 million for a man of his age that has been a senator that long is in ANY WAY comparable to the twns of millions that the Clintons are worth?

That would be like saying earning $8 dollars an hour is basically the same as earning $160 dollars an hour.

[onehandle]

20. Nice how The 'Not Hillary' Party likes to pretend that $ moved to and held by his wife is not his $.

Cool story, bro.

RELEASE THE TAX RETURNS.

[Bonobo]

21. So you can't back it up. That's okay, pal. nt

[Depaysement]

27. Once again

He can't back it up. Once again.

[apcalc]

29. It may come as a shock

To you but the Clintons started with very little and worked hard and earned their money .

It wasn't free.

[Politicalboi]

2. But she's the underdog

I wonder what happened.

Maybe she made them promises on their taxes. I doubt those that make $200,000 a year get the same e-mails as the rest of the peons.

5. $200k isn't a lot actually

[Bonobo]

6. Yes, it is. And it is "$200,000 or over".

$200,000 actually isn't a lot?

Do you have any idea how most people live???

[hill2016]

7. in New York

most kids in private equity, investment banking, hedge funds, etc. hit $200k a few years out of college.

In the Bay Area, $200k is entry level for hot fields e.g. machine learning, data science, biotech, etc.

Lawyers, doctors, hit $200k fairly quickly in their career as well.

[Bonobo]

9. LOL.

"most kids in private equity, investment banking, hedge funds, etc. hit $200k a few years out of college."

You make me laugh.

[frylock]

11. This has to be a parody account.

There is no way somebody could post that and expect to be taken seriously.

[Bonobo]

14. Maybe angling for a job at the Onion. nt

[Warren DeMontague]

18. Romney's car elevator

In action

[Warren DeMontague]

13. I cant even afford private preschool and the live-in nanny. It's a Dickensian nightmare!

[frylock]

10. What about those who clean the restrooms for the kids in private equity, investment banking, etc.?

They hitting $200k fairly quickly in their career as well?

[Warren DeMontague]

17. They are shunted off through one of the tunnels every night

As they should be!

[hill2016]

24. let me ask the cleaner

she's around somewhere...

[frylock]

25. Yes, please do fetch the help.

[Warren DeMontague]

32. Im asking my cleaner right now

Odd, no answer

[frylock]

33. I use Fabuloso myself.

The scent is positively enchanting. It makes wiping down the toilet (with a cloth) seem like a walk through a mountain glade.

http://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/wsj-data-scientists-with-2-years-exp-can-earn-200000-300000-a-year

While a six-figure starting salary might be common for someone coming straight out of a doctoral program, data scientists with just two years' experience can earn between $200,000 and $300,000 a year, according to recruiters.

[Warren DeMontague]

15. Way to demonstrate that you're not out of touch.

[DesertFlower]

12. depends on where you live.

in NYC it's not a lot especially if you have kids. here in arizona you can live quite well on $200,000.

[JoePhilly]

3. Damn!!! You convienced me ... But I already voted for her in ...

... the purple state of NC.

If only you guys had brought this issue up sooner.

16. Bernie Sanders entire net worth is less than half what Hill was paid for Goldman Sachs speeches.

Uncle Joe posted this article in an OP yesterday: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511715710

[anotherproletariat]

23. Really, all of his savings, house, etc is less than $340K? With his salary, either he can't manage

money well enough to trust with ours, or he is hiding something. Either way, I can see why he's fighting so hard to win...it is his retirement plan.

[apcalc]

31. Wonder why that is

Guess Senators don't make much money, eh?

[Jefferson23]

19. Telling, that's for sure. n/t

[anotherproletariat]

22. Yes. You can't stereotype the successful, just as you can't stereotype any other group.

Many wealthy people are on our side, and frankly we need them. Until Citizen's United can be overturned, we have to play with their rules.

[apcalc]

26. She's definitely

On my side as a woman.

[Renew Deal]

28. Does Bernie love the "poorly educated?"

[pantsonfire]

30. Rich people are smarter, duh...n/t

[Corporate666]

34. There is a direct correlation between IQ and income

...so one reasonable hypothesis is that the people who prefer Clinton tend to be more intelligent. Perhaps intelligent enough to realize Bernie's promises are pure pandering, and that he represents trillions in tax increases.

[Bonobo]

36. Nice to hear from the Freeper community. nt

[Skwmom]

35. The know on which side their bread is buttered.
