Hillary Clinton: I’m not ‘truly well off’ compared to wealthiest Americans

Hillary Clinton claims that despite the significant wealth she and Bill have amassed since leaving the White House, they’re not “truly well off” compared to the richest of Americans.

“They don't see me as part of the problem," Clinton told The Guardian newspaper in response to a question about whether voters would see her as “credible” on the issue of income inequality, despite her vast personal wealth. “We pay ordinary income tax, unlike a lot of people who are truly well off — not to name names — and we've done it through dint of hard work.”

The eyebrow-raising comment, made during an interview with the British paper that ran late Saturday, follows another bizarre remark Clinton made about being “dead broke” after leaving the White House and could further propel the image of her being out of touch with Main Street as she continues to weigh a 2016 presidential run.

Compared to Vince Foster, Amb. Stevens,
or any of the murdered and raped Americans in her path,
she is doing quite “well”.

Folks, lemme get this straight.

Hillary’s first campaign angle is “I’m not that rich?”

That’s like saying that as a murderer, you really aren’t all that bad because Hitler, Stalin, etc. murdered many more.

“Well Off” is a fairly ambiguous term as I see it. Subjectively speaking she may be correct. Objectively speaking Id say she was indeed rather well off

all these comparisons..AYE!

"...and we've done it through dint of hard work.”

If this were 1980 or even 1990, that right there would have ended her campaign.

Rich Commie leftists always see themselves as “middle class” same goes for liberal celebrities..they go on and on about taxing the rich, yet they never mention themselves because they don’t consider themselves wealthy

Sounds like the Hilldabeast in already trying to paint Romney as a one percenter and she as just a little better off than the average Joe.
