The many contradictions of Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton recently said she would go after offshore tax “schemes” in the Caribbean.
Yet her husband, Bill Clinton, reportedly made $10 million as an adviser and an occasional partner in the Yucaipa Global Partnership, a fund registered in the Cayman Islands.

Clinton has also vowed to raise taxes on hedge-fund managers. Is that a way of expressing displeasure with her son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky, who operates a $400 million hedge fund?
For that matter, how did Clinton’s daughter, Chelsea – who worked for a consulting firm and a hedge fund despite having no background in finance – reportedly become worth an estimated $15 million?

Hillary Clinton recently proposed a new $350 billion government plan to make college more affordable.
Yet, since she left office, Clinton routinely has charged universities $200,000 or more for her brief 30-minute chats.
