(30,058 posts)She and Bill was well down on the income ladder when they moved to Arkansas. As an attorney Hillary had to build clientele before money will start coming in. I am happy this couple has risen their level of assets. Like they say "work hard and play by the rules".

(19,460 posts)I hate to tell them that until we have a better system, we need Wall Street. Thousands of middle class pensions, middle class 401Ks', middle class retirements and others are tied up in Wall Street. Until we have a better system, we need the banks. There isn't anyone else going to give you a loan for a home. CEOs of large corporations have always made more money than the rest of us. Yes, they should do more to pay their fair share in taxes, but until the laws change, this is the way it is. Hillary is just as much a champion for the middle class as any other Democrat. She knows not to scapegoat.

(41,832 posts)it's with Vanguard so I manage it myself.
I was self-employed ( owned a dancing school for 36 years ) so I had to do it myself.
I have no problem with her "ties" to Wall Street. Firstly, she was a Senator from New York.
Second, they give her money which is important for a politician. Lastly... I haven't really seen her favor them
at all. No more so that Elizabeth Warren favors the medical device manufacturers in Mass. since they are a big industry there.
