Hillary Clinton was working hard to make tens of millions or more with Bill for themselves

She held office for only 12 years..

While Bernie was working hard full time for the people just on his and Janes's on his salary

Bernie has held public office for 33 years

The Clintons did not start out as wealthy people but they are now multi millionaires many times over while "working for the people"

The Sanders did not start out as wealthy people and they MAYBE -are worth one million dollars if that.

Who spent more time working for themselves and who spent more time working for the interest of the people?


It is so obvious which candidate was truly focused on their job and which candidate was focused on personal ambition.

To get to there while "uh hum" working for the people. How does that really work?

attractive to Bernie now than ever before. He will come out of this primary, win or lose, with money in his pockets and two or three book deals that will quickly put him into at least the 5%.

When Bill Clinton ran for office in 1992 his net worth was just about the same as Bernie's except he had been governor of Arkansas and earned from that.
