(109,811 posts)72. US News: The Clinton Foundation pays women less than the men

On a day when most every media outlet in the country is giving its full attention to the Donald Trump/Paul Ryan summit, out comes a report from The Daily Caller that should be of interest to anyone following the financial dealings of Hillary and Bill Clinton. Apparently the former and potentially future first couple "received at least $100million from autocratic Persian Gulf states and their leaders, potentially undermining Democratic president candidate Hillary's claim she can carry out independent Middle east policies."
It's a revelation that won't shock anyone. The Clintons are notorious for doing a cash-only business, as just about everyone knows. No one cares though they should whether a "pro quo" went along with the "quid" as the funds were being raised.
How they were spent is another matter, one that should have Democrats up in arms but won't. According to various reports, the Clinton Foundation pays the men who work there 38 percent more than it pays the women. The wage gap, which Hillary has identified as one of the nation's most pressing problems, appears to be alive and well and prospering under her own roof.
None of that will matter to Democrats as they vote in the remaining primaries. It won't matter to delegates at the convention. And it won't matter to the women who travel the country as surrogates for the former first lady during the November campaign. The rules, after all, are as different for her as they were for him once he got caught in an embarrassing abuse of his own power in the workplace that has come to be known as The Lewinsky Affair.
