Hillary Clinton Says She Isn't 'Truly Well Off' Saturday Guardian news

99. except she did NOT say "other"

if she had, that would change the meaning.

And to say that they "bust their asses" is kinda silly. Campaigning for office is pretty hard work, as I know from experience, and perhaps holding office is harder work than we the people normally give them credit for - a former county commissioner told me that his $40,000 a year job was pretty hard (and he didn't make $40,000, they raised the pay after he was off the board.

But making speeches and writing books is not really hard work. For me to earn $8,000,000 at my current job I would need to work over 470,000 hours or 58,800 eight hour days or 11,700 five day weeks or 226 years.

I am pretty sure that 226 years of doing my job is a lot harder than writing ones autobiography. I'd be quite happy to take next year off and write my own autobiography for a mere $20,000. And if I could make even $20,000 a year for just giving speeches I'd consider myself very very fortunate.

I'd be happy to work up a little half hour speech about income inequality and how politicians like Clinton have failed (or I should really say 'betrayed' since failure makes it sound like they are trying to help the working class, when really they are not) the working class. And you can hear that speech for a mere $50 plus travel expenses.
