63. I hope that Hillary does not run.

I think she has a lot of personal problems that will come up in the campaign.

Her son-in-law is one. Her son-in-law's father is another. Her husband's friends is a third. The horrible legislation that her husband signed while president is the big one.

Elizabeth Warren has none of those negatives. Her personality is warm and loving. She is the perfect candidate.

If she doesn't run, I will back and work for Bernie Sanders.

We have to do something about the billionaire and millionaire tax cheats. We have to do something about the disparity in wealth.

Hillary doesn't understand those problems.

And this is Hillary's biggest problem:


Finance More: Goldman Sachs Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton Raked In Around $400,000 Speaking At Goldman Sachs

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

Why did Goldman Sachs pay Hillary $400,000 to speak to them?

What does she know about finance that would be worth $400,000 to them?

$400,000 is an incredible amount of money.

If you earn $7.50 per hour, it would take you over 53,333 hours to earn $400,000. That's more than 1,333 40-hour weeks or about 25 years.

It would take a minimum wage worker at least 25 years to earn $400,000. I'm being generous in my calculations, giving Hillary the benefit of the doubt.

What is Goldman Sachs paying Hillary Clinton that kind of money for? Her expertise? Her charm? Her good looks? I think we all know what she has that is worth that much to them, and it is none of the above.

Enough of the sold-out, bought-off politicians.
