Hillary Clinton is a champion of the middle class? She detests the one percent? She wants to take down Wall Street? That’s a laugh.
Despite Americans’ cynicism of politicians, it’s surprising that Clinton is still leading nationally in the polls, and is still likely to be president of the United States come January 2017.
A new chart from The Intercept provides a list of 12 speeches Clinton made to Wall Street. These speeches helped her make a nice sum of $2.9 million from the likes of cronies Goldman Sachs and Bank of America.
This is pittance to what her husband, Bill, earned. Reportedly, the former U.S. president made $17 million in speeches delivered to banks, insurance companies, hedge funds, real estate businesses and other financial firms.
In total, the power couple has netted close to $140 million in paid speeches. And they’re lambasting the one percent, pretending to be the average person?
It should certainly be interesting to see how much President Obama will make in the coming years for speeches.
