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.

Hillaryous! $OCIALI$T$PEAK.

Everything about socialism is sham and affectation. - 23.11 Ch23 Evil; Economic Harmonies; Bastiat

Perhaps she’ll qualify for unemployment or an EBT card. Living paycheck to paycheck must be difficult for Hillaryous!

She should try cattle futures. She was good at that.

If worse comes to worse she could always pimp out her talking appendage, the former POSOTUS, at the nursing homes.

He could shake down Bobble Head Dole for some Viagara.

skeeter, DRUDGE has up now the Ed Klien detailed guestimate of Hillary’s heart condition, valve concerns, thyroid trouble, and blood clot history, from his phantom sources, made to sound as if they were in the room.

However, all of it does match her lack of physical carriage, always sitting, sluggish physical behavior, etc.

And her fresnel lenses.

In another time she wouldn't even bother running. But with the MSM so completely owned by the State I swear now anything is possible.

Who side are you on?

Personally, I think her current advisor deserves a raIse.

It takes a certain amount of “talent” to turn a $1,000 investment into $100,000, doesn’t it?

I’ll have to take her word that a 100 million dollars just doesn’t very far today.

Well, THAT, is a very astute observation I had not considered.

Maybe now the media will sympathetically return to the syncophant position at her chubby knee again, if she is considered “ill”.

I hate to see money wasted, on the other hand I am enjoying her death spiral.

I bet she dies January 2015 either from alcohol-related problems or from a aneurysm. That would be sad...no?

Hillary, are you in any real risk of dying from poverty? Going homeless, starving, that kind of thing?

No?

Then, lady, the only thing you are telling us is that your luxury isn’t enough to make you happy.
