If hillary really cared about the working class and poor

[JasonHill]

why not donate the majority of the 1/10th of a billion dollars they've acquired off of solicited support from those whom they pretend to care about? I'm not saying become paupers, but isn't 10 million enough for her whole family to live on very, very comfortably while setting a great example to everyone that the Democratic Party Establishment actually stands by those less fortunate?

1. To be fair, the Clintons have given a lot to charity

[DJ13]

3. To be fair, the Clintons have given a lot to THEIR charity

And not much has been spent on charity work.

4. that is fine.

however, doing things for charity while hoarding tremendous and easily transferable power in 1/10th of a billion dollars in a world where people starve to death and live horrible conditions doesn't placate the moral necessity of holding elites to the fire when they claim to care about people yet hoard individual power in massive wealth

2. They've donated much much more than the Obamas have.

[JasonHill]

5. good

He should donate as well. But to put it into greater contrast, the Obama clan have 1/20th of the wealth the Clintons do and have aquired it the majority of it off his latest book sales.

6. 1/20th

Wow.

[Exilednight]

8. Yep, and the Hill has nerve to call Obama an elitist. She's in the top 1/10 of 1% of income........

earners. Makes you wonder who is really out of touch.

[Texas Hill Country]

11. it has nothing to do with money... I wouldnt call Buffett elitist and he is rich as hell!!!

and i know people that make $40k that i would call elitist.

[Exilednight]

12. Hang out with Buffet, do you?

7. legal

I believe the Clintons were left with huge legal bills in the wake of the Republican onslaught of the late '90's; I've read that much of their income has been eaten up by legal expenses.
