CaféAuLait;9310671 said:Hillary Clinton: Bill and I are not like the "truly well off"
Hillary Clinton contrasted her personal financial situation with that of the "truly well off" in an interview published Sunday, saying she and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, earn money through income, not investments, and that they work hard for their success.
Clinton was asked by the Guardian newspaper whether she could convince struggling Americans that she would fight rising income inequality, given her own wealth.
"They don't see me as part of the problem," she replied, "because 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."

Between the two they are worth over 100 million but they are not like the truly well off and struggle terribly when dead broke while enjoying an income of 12 million and a net worth of 10 million the year she claimed they were dead broke.
For someone not concerned about money she sure does speak about it a lot.
You need to learn about reading comprehension
"Bill and Hillary have reportedly made more than $100m since they left the White House in 2001"
MADE, NOT KEPT
NET WORTH OF $10 MILLION IN 2001? LOL
"We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt," Clinton told ABC News' Diane Sawyer in an interview that aired Monday. "We had no money when we got there, and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelsea's education. You know, it was not easy."
..."In fact, the Clintons faced over $5 million in legal fees following 8 years of investigations and scandals. And as they prepared to leave the White House, the couple purchased their Chappaqua home with the help of Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who was the former president's top fundraiser."

BASICALLY SHE'S SAYING SHE PAYS ORDINARY INCOME TAXES, NOT MITTEN TYPE INVESTMENT TAXES (15%)
Yes, a net worth of 100 million between both. Perhaps you need to read a bit and was worth between 6 and 30 million in 2001.
