oh, come on.

how much do you think he gets for each speaking engagement?

he got 100 grand for speaking at UT several years ago and has only done the same who knows how many times since then.

since they are likely filing together, we'll never know how much of their income EACH of them earned.

US senators earn about 200 grand per year. How much more of their income do ou honestly think Hillary has generated? it's all Bill. For better or worse.

Why is this aimed at Clinton when Bush and Cheney will have the most expensive pensions in history, with at least Cheney earning money off of stocks in Halliburton?

If that's what the market will bear, that's fine. My point was that Clinton is campaigning as a traditional "I'm for the common man" Democrat while being so rich, the "common man" has a hard time believing she has a clue what their concerns are.I think Clinton gets lifetime Secret Service protection. It was that way for all presidents until 1997 when a law was passed limiting it to 10 years (longer if there is a threat to that president's life). As Clinton had assumed office before the law was passed I believe he is still eligible for the lifetime protection.

Cheney will get a lot more when he's out of office. His stocks are on hold or something, until his term is over. He's a war profiteer. At least Clinton's money is from speaking engagements and book sales. No one died for that.

So if they have so much money, why are caterers, event producers and venues waiting to get paid?
