The BHC Clinton foundation perhaps?
I think we need a refined definition of “earned”
Perhaps they think that we are enamored with Trump because he is RICH.......her saying "Me Too". she don't care that she already said she was "dead broke", who remembers that anyway.
Another thing, watching her today, she really is the perfect model for the "Bobble Head", her head is always in the "Yes" up and down mode with that stupid grin on her face while she speaks or listens to someone. Drives me crazy.
Doesn’t that make those two clowns part of the 1% they’re always whining about? Hypocrites!!!
Definitely: And I wonder how much money the Clintons were able to declare as “foundation money” so they wouldn’t have to pay income tax on it at all!
“I think we need a refined definition of earned”
Right on. So Hillary what exactly did you do to “earn” that money?
