Bernie Earned Less in Year than Hillary Made in Single Speech
Weekly Standard ^ | April 15, 2016 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 04/15/2016 3:49:23 PM PDT by Zakeet

Bernie Sanders reportedly earned just over $200,000 in 2014. That same year, Hillary Clinton, Sanders's top Democratic rival, gave about 45 paid speeches, many of which paid her more in a single hour than Sanders made the entire year.

In the annals of unflattering pics, this one gets a blue ribbon. It is both unflattering and satirical.

I'm glad they didn't say the Hildabeast earned money for any of her speeches!

I just filed my 2015 income tax. Just what did Bernie do to earn fully 50% more than I did? He has a lot of gall in condemning "the rich." He's a lot richer than I am or ever will be.

The Clinton dynasty makes more on one 30 minute speech, than most Americans earn working their asses off in 4 YEARS.

I just checked. The salary of a US Senator is $174,000 a year.

In one interview on TV a few weeks ago, it was stated that his income tax return is so simple his wife does it.

As far as not profiting off government positions, Sanders is the real deal.

I dunno. While I disagree with almost everything about him, he does seem to be a funny old coot. Every time I hear him talk I think of Oddball from Kelly's Hero's.

Which is still twice as much as I made before taxes, and three times as much after taxes.

Bernie was just a bum until he was 40 and went into politics. Now he’s a bum in politics.

At first glance, the Clintons astounding honoraria and humongous Foundation donations seem to provide the bulk of the couples mega income. Bills honoraria increased dramatically pocketing some $50 million during Hillarys four-year term as Secretary of State....including an Irish scholarship fund, a Korean conglomerate, and, a Nigerian newspaper company......each of whom paid Clinton more than half a million dollars for a single speech.

The Wash/Post reports Hillary earned $11.7 million for 51 speeches since Jan 2014.....she pocketed an astonishing $625,000 for two speeches in one day.


I firmly believe the Clinton Foundations gigantic donor list, and their astonishing blizzard of speaking honoraria, are a smoke screen for their secret wealth....and the way they make billions sub rosa....intertwining their vaunted do-goodism and their multiple tax-paid public offices.

The calculated Clintons have sought to branch out into other business activities. All of that is kept under wraps. Very little is known about the exact nature and financial worth of Bill and Hillarys non-speech business interests.

Reports keep surfacing indicating the Clintons were party to multi/billion dollar Mideast arms deals....Kazakhstan uranium mines....and Haitian gold mines...Libyan oil deals....telecom businesses, deals w/ financial powerhouses like Teneo, Goldman Sachs.....etc etc etc.

THE CON ARTIST CLINTONS GRABBED EVERYTHNG THAT WASNT NAILED DOWN Lucrative business interests were cunningly intertwined w/ the Foundations transparent do-good activities....enabled by Hillarys catbird seat at the State Dept.

At last count, the Clintons apparently raised an astounding $2 billion from their foundation activities and their political campaigns.....

.....does not include monies flowing in from the various lucrative business ventures, interest accrued, safe deposit boxes, real estate assets, passive income on which they pay no taxes, income from Chelseas hubbys hedge fund, monies invested in Goldman Sachs, interest in financial powerhouse Teneo..... etc etc etc.......

================================================ The Clintons are worth a bundle.....accumulated in record time. Their livelihood was collected as they marched through American politics.

They co-opted taxpayers by using OUR govt and information they were privy to by virtue of govt office in order to pocket big bucks.

Well he may be a bum but he’s not a crook. A lot of them are bums AND crooks. For example: Mrs. Clinton.

Do Hitler-y & Billious ACTUALLY deliver these “valuable”
speeches they’re supposedly being paid to do? Or is this
really something else entirely? One word answers will
suffice.

I saw some of the dem debate last night when he was asked by Wolf Blitzer about his 2014 tax return. Sanders tried to gloss over the answer but Blitzer came back several times and never once explained why he was asking about 2014 taxes... How about 2015 taxes, Bernie? He did say several times that his wife does his taxes. Sooooo?

When Hillary was asked when she was going to release hers she said when the GOP candidates and Sanders release theirs. Sanders said, “I’ll release mine tomorrow” but that was still only 2014.

Of course, there was a collection of the different faces she makes for the different topics... What a phony!!!!!
