Charity Begins at Home

Some interesting points came out of the Clintons’ recently released tax returns. For example, they deducted over $10 million in charitable contributions. Sounds philanthropic, except that most of the money went to the Clinton Family Foundation. The Foundation has apparently disbursed only half of the money, and some of that appears to have been targeted to support Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign. Do you know what else would be interesting? How much of her campaign money has been paid to herself, Bill, or Chelsea, for campaigning? We already know that Bill is worth about $250,000 per appearance. The rich get richer by working hard and investing. Politicians get rich by talking about it.
