Wall Street made Hillary Clinton a Millionaire

As Clinton tries to talk tough about how she will stand up to America's biggest banks:
Clinton made $3.15 million in 2013 alone from speaking to firms like Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and UBS ...

While Clinton has given paid speeches to many groups, Wall Street banks and investment houses made up a third of her speech income.
She even made more money speaking to UBS and Goldman Sachs than her husband Bill did.

themselves than for any other reason.

And naturally they are not going to pass laws that might jeopardize their gravy train. It is so corrupt that there are no words to really describe it.

is married to Wall Street.

"Mom, we need more tax breaks and deregulation if we ever want to do as well as you and dad someday."
