"Changing lives and saving lives"
As a true believer in capitalism, I don't mind seeing Bill and Hillary Clinton make big bucks. It is not for me to decide what is too much. They wouldn't be the first former occupants of the White House to cash in on their government service. I would, however, watch what they both say very carefully in case they start talking about income inequality.

We have known for some time now that Bill has been taking in hundreds of thousands of dollars from people eager to sit and listen to him spin his yarns for an hour. I guess that's their business. As for Hillary taking in $250,000-300,000 to speak at various universities, students who are upset should rightfully ask their schools why tuition is so high. Now they know. They should also ask themselves why they continue to support those Democrats who preach about Republican fat cats while eating the same Friskies.
Oh, but I forgot. Hillary gives it to a foundation that saves lives.
The Clinton Global Initiative.
Too bad nobody can get the IRS interested in the CGI (too busy with the Tea Party). The Clintons are now worth hundreds of millions of dollars since they left the White House. Meanwhile, questions have been raised about how much of the money raised is being spent.
