Life is complicated. Politics is messy. And claiming ideological purity always comes back to bite you.New York Sen. Hillary Clinton shared her wealth in March, doling out $190,000 in contributions to Democrats Clintons political action committee, HILLPAC, raised $272,477 and spent $327,484 in March, according to the groups filing to the Federal Election Commission. Two congressmen trying to make it to the Senate also got boosts from Clinton. Rep. Bernie Sanders, who is running for the seat held by retiring Vermont lawmaker Jim Jeffords, received $10,000, as did Harold Ford Jr., of Tennessee.

According to the New York Times, and quoting top aides, Bernie considers the attack on Hillarys speech transcripts a character assault: Mr. Sanders, hunched over a U-shaped conference table, rejected it as a personal attack on Mrs. Clintons income the sort of character assault he has long opposed. She has the right to make money, he offered.

(68,867 posts)On the board of that nuclear waste removal committee out of Texas, and Bernie Sanders voted for the bill that would've placed nuclear waste on top of the Poor Latino community, but they ended up fighting back and won!
The $4900 on the schedule C of the 2014 tax return I believe is income from the nuclear waste removal committee as payment for her services.
Of course we don't know what's in other prior tax returns in terms of that income, because they haven't provided those returns, although they were promised.

(15,445 posts)profits from their largess. Simple as that...
What a bleeding hypocrite. Everyone, including HRC and George Clooney, agree that Citizen's United is an onerous onslaught against democratic politics and that it MUST go. Everyone agrees that US campaign finance is a really expensive, scandalous shambles.
BUT, THOSE ARE THE RULES RIGHT NOW.
How do you change those rules? By guaranteeing a progressive Dem. Congress and Presidency.
Bern's disciples are forking out big money for their chosen savior right now, but for how long? Will they cough up for less "revolutionary" down-ballot candidates? Will they even bother get to the polls to vote in Democrats if Saint Bern isn't on the ballot?
Hey there, Cha...a big "Hi" to Hawaii!
