The Clintons were "dead broke" when they left the White House in 2000 ... now, after Hillary's 4 years as Secretary of State and 4 years running for the 2016 presidency, they are worth $125 million.
If she wins in November, where will their net worth be in 2020 or 2024? Asking for Freepers usually well-informed opinions.
I think President Trump should implement by fiat a 75% “surcharge” on all American foundations with over 10m dollars in foreign contributions.
That would destroy every Democrat slush fund as well as put the left on the defensive as to why taxes on ordinary Americans are ok, but on rich foreign contributions to foundations that pay out less than 15% of their contributions are off limits.
Trump should also do to every liberal organization that Obama’s IRS did to every Conservative organization. Last think Trump should do is a fairness doctrine, which will say that any TV, Radio or other media article that is not straight news but has a political slant needs to be clearly identified as to its origin. In other words, a NY Slimes editorial has to be clearly labeled “LIBERAL”.
All the money in the world is worthless when you’re surrounded by bars and fellow inmates wearing fluorescent yellow jump suits.
Fully agree with you. I just would not use the word ‘liberal’ but ‘leftist’ instead.
No wonder the crooked elites criticize Trump... he's had to work like the rest of us for what he has - actually produce something...
In DC thy sell what they don't own... or as we call it in flyover - they sell what they steal from us.
Malaysia is part of Boobamba's TPP trade deal.......so that could be something to watch.

FYI---US goes after more than $1B taken from Malaysian fund
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The United States moved Wednesday to recover more than $1 billion that federal officials say was stolen from a Malaysian economic development fund and that was used for high-end real estate, fancy artwork and production of the Hollywood film, "The Wolf of Wall Street."
The diverted funds paid for luxury properties in New York and California, a $35 million private jet and expensive paintings by Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet, according to federal government complaints that demand the recovery and forfeiture of the ill-gotten assets.
The complaints, filed in Los Angeles, allege a complex money laundering scheme that the Justice Department says was intended to enrich top-level officials of a government-controlled Malaysian wealth fund. -snip- Among them is Riza Shahriz Bin Abdul Aziz...the stepson of Prime Minister Najib Razak (Excerpt) Read more at hosted.ap.org ...

Better question: Given that the Clinton Global Initiative is just the “other pocket”, shouldn’t we be counting all that cash as part of the Clinton ‘net worth’ statement? I mean they barely give any of it away. It’ll make a nice nest egg for Chelsea’s run for the Whitehouse in18 years or so...
Yeah. What the Clinton’s are showing is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
Ping
Watch "Clinton Cash."
But most Democrats don't care about honesty.
“I think President Trump should implement by fiat a 75% surcharge on all American foundations with over 10m dollars in foreign contributions.”
It is long past time to tax foundations. The Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Annenberg Foundation and others work to support leftist causes and the destruction of the uniquely American culture. There is no reason to exempt these advocacy groups from taxes.
