"From Goldman Sachs to the Carlyle group, business interests are lining up to give huge amounts of cash to the Clintons personally for such speeches."

http://www.businessinsider.com/hillary-clinton-goldman-sachs-speeches-2013-10

"It’s the latest paid speaking gig for Clinton, who has also made visits to an investors conference held by private equity firm KKR, and to the Carlyle Group."

You mention that I hate money. You are partially correct. I hate money in politics. Clinton goes to a meeting with Goldman-Sachs and they give her $200,000 for her personal account. They look at it as an investment that they can get a good return on in the future. I look at it as corruption.
