Hillary Clinton claims that despite the significant wealth she and Bill have amassed since leaving the White House, theyre not truly well off compared to the richest of Americans.
They don't see me as part of the problem," Clinton told The Guardian newspaper in response to a question about whether voters would see her as credible on the issue of income inequality, despite her vast personal wealth. We pay ordinary income tax, unlike a lot of people who are truly well off not to name names and we've done it through dint of hard work.
The eyebrow-raising comment, made during an interview with the British paper that ran late Saturday, follows another bizarre remark Clinton made about being dead broke after leaving the White House and could further propel the image of her being out of touch with Main Street as she continues to weigh a 2016 presidential run.

Clinton is anywhere from about 15-100 million dollars.
I think it is unusual to play that much money as if it’s on the poverty side of living.
Greed and envy combined in one fatuous assertion. Impressive.
Rare candid photo of Hillary Clinton, current net worth $100+ million, roaming the strip malls of Chappaqua, New York, with her shopping cart.
she is dumber than I thought
Those poor, pathetic fools are living $200,000 speaking fee to speaking fee these days. Very sad.
“and we’ve done it through dint of hard work”
Hard work? Giving speeches to fawning audiences at $200,000 a pop? Writing books? Where the heck was the hard work?
I think Hillary is toast. The Dems don’t have a B team.
So, she doubles down on stupid. Snicker
Bill Clinton wants so bad to say “See why I married this dumb twit? I knew I could get away with anything because she knew she was too stupid to make it on her own.
Poor me.....boo hoo
Yep.
I've driven through Chappaqua and have literally driven past her house.It looks like the kind of neighborhood where a guy like myself wouldn't even be allowed in to do the landscaping.
She might as well be an impoverished scullery maid in Victorian England, married to a chimney sweep...
> Folks, lemme get this straight.
Hillarys first campaign angle is Im not that rich?
BS.....
we’ve done it through dint of hard work
ROFL
you mean by making speeches at $500,000 a pop!
whew! that’s hard work!
Not soon enough...
Regards,
I am convinced that she is not running.
This is about God knows what, money for one, but the angle
for the dems, that one I haven’t determined.
I have no doubt lizzy warren will be running, as vice most likely, but that imbecile will be in the mix.
“We pay ordinary income tax, unlike a lot of people who are truly well off...”
Sooo, can we now conclude that the government/IRS definition of rich needs to be re-calibrated?
