The Complete Breakdown Of Every Hillary And Bill Clinton Speech, And Fee, Since 2013*
Earlier today, when we reported that based on Hillary Clinton's latest tax disclosure, she and her husband had made $139 million in gross income since 2007 most of its from private speaking fees, the one aspect that readers founds most fascinating was the breakdown of all the bribes better known as speeches given by the two Clintons (who in Hillary's words came out of the White House "dead broke" in 2013 as well as the going rate.
So due to popular demand, we appended to the 2013 speech detail first released last week the full breakdown of Hillary's and Bill's 2014 and 2015 speeches which had been provided previously as part of her mandatory disclosure in May of this year.
As Politico cautions, the disclosure omits an unknown number of speeches that the Clintons delivered while directing the payment or honoraria to the Clinton Foundation, despite instructions on the and guidance from the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, saying that honoraria directed to a charity should be reported.
Still, as readers will note, even the "modest" data that Hillary chose to share is quite stunning.
We hope it will surprise nobody that the bulk of speeches were bought and paid for by Wall Street and affiliated "financial entities" because that's what hollow populist pandering is all about - pretending to be an "everyday American" while getting paid tens of millions by Wall Street and America's biggest corporations.
How many millions?
Since 2013 Bill Clinton has been paid $26.6 million for 94 speeches; Hillary's grand total is slightly less: $21.7 million for 92 private appearances.
Below we present the full breakdown of every publicly disclosed speech event by Hillary Clinton, together with the associated fee.
And likewise for Bill Clinton:

If people are known by the company that they keep, what can one infer from the fact that HRC gave numerous speeches, for a total compensation of 975,000 dollars?
And what connection to and sympathy for average people can someone have when that person earned nearly 23 million in two years by telling the 1% what they want to hear?
Strange bedfellows, indeed.

(45,251 posts)That unions are endorsing her over Sanders, with all his union cred and $15 minimum wage is so messed up, IMO.

(62,325 posts)from the National Leaders and endorsing Bernie.
That shows to me that the leaders are not representative of the membership. The SEIU eg, NH's State Union has endorsed Bernie.
The National Nurses Union has endorsed Bernie. The Post Office Workers in a few states now, are endorsing Bernie.
It will have a tsunami effect as more and more state unions endorse the candidate who has fought for them throughout his entire career.

Who, I wonder, do these union leaders endorsing Clinton think they are kidding?
Not their rank and file, that's proving to be for sure.

I don't think he would either.
I still plan on voting for who ever wins our nomination as everyone of them is a better choice than any repub.
Go Bernie.

(24,324 posts)If someone, or some 'thing' pays someone else to do something, I assume the payer expects something from the payee in return. I sure do.
So, what do these payers expect in return?

(11,575 posts)I don't understand all of the resentment toward the Clintons earning large sums of money. Isn't that the American Dream? They're not the first politicians to do so, and I doubt they will be the last.

(3,544 posts)only made 80% of what he did? Talk about pay inequity!!! Granted she's 2 speeches short of his, but I find it amazing that she can't fix the pay inequity in her own relationship. How in the hell is she suppose to fix the same issue with and entire country?

This would make a great OP if anyone is interested. (I'm not up to that sort of thing yet.)
