Inequality: Hillary's Vacation in the Hampton's

Hillary Clinton is always talking about income inequality on the campaign trail; excoriating CEO's for their million dollar plus salaries and benefits. Once, she said we need to "topple" the top one percent of all wage earners in the country.  She should look in the mirror. She is in that one percent.

While taking a break from campaigning, she and Bill will spend two weeks in the Hampton's in a multi-million dollar mansion at a rental cost of $100,000 for two weeks.  That's almost twice what the average family makes in a year, and it's 2-1/2 times what the average home in bankrupt, beat down Detroit sells for.

Enough with the hypocrisy!

Hillary Wants To Topple the Wealthiest One Percent

Apparently, Hillary Clinton plans to fix income inequality in America by making the rich poorer and  literally toppling the top one percent.  This way, I suppose, it will make the poor "look" a little richer. Forget about the fact that most of the nation's wealthy got that way by creating companies that, in turn, create jobs.

If she does topple the rich, how are we going to pay for all those liberal federal programs that benefit the poor?  The top one percent already pays more in taxes than the bottom 90% of all wage earners combined.  All this so that the bottom 43% can pay no taxes and the poor can survive on programs like food stamps and Medicaid.  But, Hillary still thinks the rich are unfairly treated when it comes to taxes. 

Of course, this comes from the mouth of a woman whose combined wealth with her husband is estimated to be between $100 and $200 million dollars. 

Maybe she needs to topple herself.
