"Everyday Americans" Hillary And Bill Clinton Report $140 Million In Taxable Income Since 2007

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-08-03/everyday-americans-hillary-and-bill-clinton-report-140-million-income-2007

Ever since Mitt Romney's tax disclosure fiasco in which allegations of tax avoidance and usage of offshore tax shelters played a major part in the democrat counter campaign, there has been great interest in the Adjusted Gross Income reported by presidential candidates. Which is why to avoid any surprises on the primary circuit, Hillary Clinton released the full data of her and Bill's tax income going back to 2007.

So without further ado, here is the Clinton family's adjusted gross income since 2007. The summary: $139.1 million in income since 2007, most of it thanks to speeches starting at $225,000 and going much higher.

And that is your "everyday Americans."

Snip ...

And Most Likely She Will Represent Her 1% Colleagues At The Expense Of The 99%

So, why would any Citizen want a President that will sell them out to the Oligarchs, Corporations and Banks.

or for that matter Landon, Wilkie, and Dewey. I take it you would have voted for Nixon over Kennedy, Goldwater over Johnson, Ford over Carter as well.

If there ever was a race between the 1% and the 99% Kennedy-Nixon was it and the man who came from the 1% sympathies lied with the 99% more than the man who was actually one of the 99%.

Go figure...

It's their attitude about it and what policies they support that's important to me. I don't hate rich people. I hope to be rich myself some day. I just want the middle class to be rebuilt and to ensure everyone has adequate shelter, food, and medical care.

the race (mainly from the it's his turn crowd). Each month that he doesn't enter, the number will drop a little more.
