Hilary Clinton's rich bashing is not convincing

At least Bernie Sanders believes in the crap he says. Hillary has sprinted to the left because she needs to appeal to her base. She must bash the rich or she cannot be elected. But it would be more convincing if she did not charge hundreds of thousands of dollars for each speech. She claims to hate the rich, even saying that when she and Bill left the White House at the turn of the century that they were bankrupt. Now she is charging $300,000 for speeches.

Yep. $300,000. 300k. 3 + 00000. Three with five zeros. Bankrupt?

Democrats need workers to win. The reason Romney lost was because he was seen as out of touch. Hillary Clinton makes Mitt look like he is a union factory worker in Detroit. It really pisses me off when politicians, like Hillary, claim that the game is rigged, that the rich are too rich, and that we need to tax our economy to hell in the name of equality. But the reality is that she is part of the problem she is complaining about! Ironically, she charged $225,000 on a speech about high tuition at a University!

I am sorry, but if the average household income is $69,000, and only 25.1% of the households make over $200,000 per year, but you make exactly that much for an hour speech and you make 4 times as much as the average American in one day, you should shut up. You have no right to talk about income inequality or what the average American experiences. Sorry.

Clinton is worth over $15 MILLION dollars. I am sorry, but she cannot be empathetic. She does not have the same rising story that Barrack had. Marco Rubio is actually worth the least at $443,000 dollars.

I see pundits all the time saying the Republican party is not empathetic enough. Having self-made men like Ben Carson, whose father left his mother, lived on welfare, and had an illiterate mother and Marco Rubio, who was raised by immigrants (and was made fun of by the NY Times because he has student loan debt!) actually know what poor Americans feel. Even if you disagree with them, there is no doubting that they have experienced what it is like to be poor in the United States. Hillary has not.

I honestly think that Hillary is not qualified to speak about income inequality and the plight of the American worker. But she will anyway. Hopefully, when she casts a republican nominee (who I hope is Rubio) as unempathetic, voters will see through that load of hooey.
