Hillary Clinton Earned More from One Speech Than Bernie Sanders Did in One Year

[berniepdx420]

Bernie Sanders released his 2014 tax returns today, highlighting the disparity of wealth between the Vermont senator and his opponent, Hillary Clinton.

In 2014, Sen. Sanders’ household earned $205,617 in income, mostly from his U.S. Senate salary and Social Security payments he and his wife, Jane, received that year. Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said Sanders’ 2015 tax returns will be filed Monday, and returns from other years may be published as well.

While $200,000 a year puts Bernie Sanders in the top quintile of earners, it still pales in comparison to what Hillary Clinton made by giving 45 paid speeches that year. In fact, the former Secretary of State made more than Sanders’ total annual income in a single speech — she did so several times, in fact. The Hill reports that in 2014, Clinton was paid $280,000 for a speech to Deutsche Bank AG, $325,000 for a speech to the National Automobile Dealers’ Association, and $225,000 for a speaking gig with General Electric

1. That's Bernie's problem not hers.

Until he was 40, my daughter made more in two months than he did in a year because he was essentially unemployed, working odd jobs and living off the state.

5. Now, why would Democrats vote for Hillary?

[berniepdx420]

7. I'm starting to think the Clintons moved the party so far to the right...some republicans got

confused and call themselves Democrats... We need to recenter the Party... of, for and by the People

9. Democrats have been voting for Hillary in huge numbers.

Without non-Democrats, Sanders is long gone.

[Segami]

14. Without progressives and independents in the GE, Hillary's November fail will live in infamy.

You can take that to the bank!

13. What you said, Segami.

I'm not voting for someone who destroyed Libya, democracy in Honduras and supports oppression of Palestinians.
I'm not voting for Kissinger's protégé.

But that's okay.
