Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Clinton wealth

From a Bloomberg piece on Clinton finances:

When he left the White House in 2000, Bill Clinton reported assets of more than $1 million and legal fees of more than $2.4 million. In his wife's most recent disclosure, Hillary Clinton reported that the couple now has a net worth estimated at between $17.4 million and $53.7 million.

Both now claim to be uneasy about their place among the richest Americans. This "new experience,'' Hillary Clinton said during a debate Oct. 30, isn't "one that makes us very comfortable.''

I'll bet.

Gag, cough, bs. There are plenty of ways to part with unwanted money.

Damn, but being an ex-Gov of Arkansas, and ex-Pres of the USA and a second term Senator pays pretty good, don't it.

If the Senator wishes to put her money where her mouth is, she could easily redistribute that wealth to the "poor" - as she is planning to do with everyone else's.

Sounds like they got top dollar selling off all the furniture they 'borrowed' from the White House.
