The $100 Million Clintons

The Clintons finally released their post White House tax returns. Turns out they've earned over $100 million since then, with more than half of it from his speeches. So that's around $15 million a year in seven years. Am I shocked? Not really. I would have figured he earned close to $10 million a year. It'll be interesting to see from whence it comes. How do you complain about Dubai buying American ports when you're taking their money for your speeches and library? Not sure yet if this will sway any Pennsylvanians. My guess is that's it's old news by the time of the primary on April 22 but who knows?

As always, I note, my spouse works for Clinton
