"Prosperity can't be just for CEOs and hedge fund managers."

 

[rightwinger]

I assume it applies to Chelsea if she becomes a hedge fund manager

 

[healthmyths]

how does her daughter's employment change what hillary said..? and how does it make hillary a hypocrite?



"Prosperity can't be just for CEOs and hedge fund managers."

These are examples of her hypocrisy...

• In 1978, she "invested" $1,000 in cattle futures. That investment netted $100,000.

• The investing was supervised by James Blair, a friend and top lawyer for Tyson Foods Inc., one of Arkansas' most powerful companies. "During Mr. Clinton's tenure as Governor, Tyson benefited from several state decisions, including favorable environmental rulings, $9 million in state loans, and the placement of company executives on important state boards."

• Professional investors suggested that the odds of Hillary's profit-making were 31 trillion to 1.

• Then Hillary paid an additional $14,615 in back taxes and interest after it came out that she had made more money on futures trades than had been reported to the IRS.

• Hedge Fund Connections:
  • Marc Mezvinsky, Chelsea Clinton's husband, is co-founder of the $400 million hedge fund Eaglevale Partners LP.
  • Lloyd Blankfein (who knows Hillary quite well), Goldman Sachs CEO, is an investor in Hillary's son-in-law's hedge fund.
  • Chelsea Clinton used to work at Clinton family friend Marc Lasry's $13.3 billion New York hedge fund company, Avenue Capital Group. Chelsea Clinton reportedly already has a net worth of $15 million that came primarily from working for Clinton family friends at Avenue Capital Group, a hedge fund, and at McKinsey & Co., a global management consultant firm.
  • The Children's Investment Fund Foundation, one of the top seven Clinton Foundation donors, was founded by Christopher Hohn, a British hedge fund manager.
  • Hillary immediately rented private office space from the Rock Creek Group, a Washington-based investment firm with strong ties to the Clinton family and a hedge fund department, after she stepped down as Security of State.
  • Hillary will attend a fund raiser in NYC at the home of Lisa Perry, whose husband is a hedge fund executive. The Perrys are major supporters of Hillary.

Hypocrisy... thy name is Hillary!!!

She simply said that prosperity is, or should be, available to folks who do not fit those specifications...She DIDN'T say that THEY didn't deserve prosperity.....But then you're obviously so enraptured by your anti Hillary prejudices, that even facts have little, or no, meaning to you any longer...But..carry on..if it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy...Nobody with even half a brain will pay you any mind..!!!
And in the meantime, you still will have @ 18 months to learn how to utter "Madam President", regardless of how much it hurts..!!!...Meanwhile......

right, any know-nothing loser can whine all day long about the nebulous "system'' favoring the evil rich... that's easy.

hard working winners like Hillary Rodham Clinton figured out long ago how to thrive politically in order to positively affect change within our system. the fact that it takes ''big money'' to get there does not make her a hypocrite, it just demonstrates her effective leadership ability toward achieving common goals of more widespread prosperity in America...

Hillary D. Rodham's 1969 Student Commencement Speech

...

I find myself in a familiar position, that of reacting, something that our generation has been doing for quite a while now. We're not in the positions yet of leadership and power, but we do have that indispensable task of criticizing and constructive protest and I find myself reacting just briefly to some of the things that Senator Brooke said. This has to be brief because I do have a little speech to give.

Part of the problem with empathy with professed goals is that empathy doesn't do us anything. We've had lots of empathy; we've had lots of sympathy, but we feel that for too long our leaders have used politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible, possible. What does it mean to hear that 13.3 percent of the people in this country are below the poverty line? That's a percentage. We're not interested in social reconstruction; it's human reconstruction. How can we talk about percentages and trends? The complexities are not lost in our analyses, but perhaps they're just put into what we consider a more human and eventually a more progressive perspective.

The question about possible and impossible was one that we brought with us to Wellesley four years ago. We arrived not yet knowing what was not possible. Consequently, we expected a lot. Our attitudes are easily understood having grown up, having come to consciousness in the first five years of this decade—years dominated by men with dreams, men in the civil rights movement, the Peace Corps, the space program—so we arrived at Wellesley and we found, as all of us have found, that there was a gap between expectation and realities. But it wasn't a discouraging gap and it didn't turn us into cynical, bitter old women at the age of 18. It just inspired us to do something about that gap. What we did is often difficult for some people to understand.

More than 45 million people, or 14.5 percent of all Americans, lived below the poverty line last year, the Census Bureau reported on Tuesday.

We've been fighting the War on Poverty for 50 years now and all we have to show is $18 Trillion in debt and the same number of poor people.

clearly you grasp the complexities as well as the relevance of percentages involved in ''all we have to show''.

And 9.2% when Reagan was elected.

Jus sayin. And overall I think Reagan was a good president. And a great leader.
