(15,480 posts)to the Clinton Foundation, or to Bill Clinton personally. I was talking with my 50-something, female, married, dental hygenist about the problem with fracking in Pennsylvania, and the state politicians from governor on down who have been bought and paid for by Big Energy. Then we talked about corporate lobbyists and I pointed out that, according to the New York Times, Bill Clinton has accumulated well over $50 million in PERSONAL wealth since leaving the White House, mostly from exorbitant/outrageous speaking fees from corporate sponsors.
As I said to her, corporations don't fork over that kind of money without demanding major quid pro quo, with a high profit margin on their investment, and in this case, it's on the possibility that Mrs. Bill Clinton will end up in the White House. Dental hygenist exploded that she would NEVER vote for Hilary, having nothing but contempt for Hilary's decades long enabling of Bill's infidelities. Her stated opinion was that Hillary sold out her self-respect to stay married to a cheating, lying sex addict, because of the perks and trappings of power, when she clearly had the education and intelligence to make it quite comfortably as a divorced woman and give herself a chance to find a man she could trust.
