A lot of Clinton's money probably came from Red China. Remember when Bill was president he traded supercomputer technology to Red China for yuan. After he was caught he gave back "some" of the money.

Saudi Arabia is also another source for Clinton's vast increase in assets.

But remember this, the key to great wealth in America today is to gain high political office. Ever wonder why someone would spend 10 million dollars of their own money to win a political job that pays less than 200 thousand a year?

Indeed.

By purging DC of the professional politician and returning to the idea of the citizen-politician, we would break the power-and-corruption cycle. Post-9/11, we no longer have the luxury of time or circumstance to abide that nonsense.

We must field citizen-politicians of the highest caliber. As envisioned by the founders, the citizen-politicians would ''lend'' their expertise to government and then return to private life. The culture of access, influence and self-interest--and with it, the tyranny--would literally disappear overnight.

With their obvious excellence and assisted by the new technology, the citizen-politician would easily bypass the stacked system to capture the imagination -- and votes -- of the masses.

I guess you never heard of public service or idealism.
(long pause)

Just kidding.Sorry. Sometimes I can't resist.

But the Clintons of course didn't even have the class
to spend their own money---they let other people support them as usual.
