Hillary Clinton: I’m not ‘truly well off’ compared to wealthiest Americans
NY Daily News ^ | 6/22/14 | Adam Edelman

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.

Clinton is anywhere from about 15-100 million dollars.

I think it is unusual to play that much money as if it’s on the poverty side of living.

Greed and envy combined in one fatuous assertion. Impressive.

Rare candid photo of Hillary Clinton, current net worth $100+ million, roaming the strip malls of Chappaqua, New York, with her shopping cart.

Those poor, pathetic fools are living $200,000 speaking fee to speaking fee these days. Very sad.

When you consider the original Clinton murder list, and then consider that this list doesn't even account for Benghazi, the dead Iraqis, 9/11, and the scores of other people they had killed, you really have to question a legal system which doesn't sentence them to the same fate as the Rosenbergs. The scariest part? The Clintons are probably less bloodthirsty than the rest of the Dementocrats!

“and we’ve done it through dint of hard work”

Hard work? Giving speeches to fawning audiences at $200,000 a pop? Writing books? Where the heck was the hard work?

I think Hillary is toast. The Dems don’t have a B team.

Bill Clinton wants so bad to say “See why I married this dumb twit? I knew I could get away with anything because she knew she was too stupid to make it on her own.

OK,so she's not worth as much as Gates or Soros.Perhaps we should conduct a fund raising telethon.I'd bet the clothes on my back that they're worth at least 25 million,which would put them in the top 0.05% of American households and the top 0.0005% of households worldwide.

Just a poor charwoman worth 21.5 million.

I've driven through Chappaqua and have literally driven past her house.It looks like the kind of neighborhood where a guy like myself wouldn't even be allowed in to do the landscaping.

She might as well be an impoverished scullery maid in Victorian England, married to a chimney sweep...

> Folks, lemme get this straight.

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

BS.....

With her health as reported I bet she will be dead soon.

Not soon enough...

I am convinced that she is not running.
This is about God knows what, money for one, but the angle
for the dems, that one I haven’t determined.

I have no doubt lizzy warren will be running, as vice most likely, but that imbecile will be in the mix.

“We pay ordinary income tax, unlike a lot of people who are truly well off...”

Sooo, can we now conclude that the government/IRS definition of rich needs to be re-calibrated?
