Hillary Heckled in PA: Wall Street Has Her Bought

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Lol, who cares. It's like one person...

Well, Hillary does get paid 225,000 dollars per speech by her friends on Wall Street, so it likely comes out to 225,000 dollars per hour.

Not bad work if you can get it.

I find it hard to believe that she can actually even relate to working Americans.

How many working Americans get paid 225,000 dollars per hour?

Didn't you support Mitt Romney?

To be fair, how many Americans would pass up six figures for an hour long speech, even wealthy ones? I have a hard time imagining easier ways to make so much money, so quickly, than that.

This is exactly the problem. I'd rather a candidate fundraise from the citizens and not from big banks in private speeches.

But Hillary was a private citizen when she made those speeches. It wasn't for political fundraising.

Also, if anyone can find one instance where she was bought and paid for by Wall Street while in the Senate, I'll eat my shirt.

It doesn't matter, the degree to which people don't understand the speaking circuit is kind of remarkably willful.

Are you telling me that if people from a certain company were giving you hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions and that when you went to these fundraisers every week, you were sitting there having dinner or drinks or whatever and they were talking to you about their priorities and why you need to vote for policy X/Y/Z, that wouldn't influence you at all?

Where's the evidence? People are just placing themselves in that position and projecting.
