$33.400 to $100,000. One thinks of P.T. Barnum's axiom about suckers.

The fundraising blitz, Bill Clinton's most aggressive stretch of the year, shows how Hillary Clinton's campaign can multiply her money largesse with the help of her husband, one of the Democratic party's most prolific rainmakers. Working together, the couple will hold at least five fundraising events on some single days in December.
The fundraising push comes as Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton's main Democratic challenger, makes campaign finance reform a central part of his message. Hillary Clinton's ties to Wall Street and financial industry donors will influence her agenda, Sanders has said.
In mid-December, the ex-president will raise money in Washington, D.C., including an event at the home of longtime Democratic powerbrokers Vernon and Ann Jordan. He will travel to Richmond later that day for a fundraiser with Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a friend and fundraiser for the Clintons.
The Clintons will head into the holidays with a New York City dinner concert with musician Sting on Dec. 17. The event will benefit a new joint fundraising committee called the Hillary Victory Fund and will range from $33,400 per person to $100,000 for couples who serve as event chairs.
