Anyway, I don't think people are bad, corrupt, or criminals simply because they're wealthy.
Anyway, we were talking about campaign contributions, which haven't added to the personal wealth of either Clinton or Trump -- those contributions are regulated and strictly reported.
I knew it wasn't an invite to argue or agree, kiddo.
Just an observation that the same mechanics generating their personal wealth also generates big money campaign contributions.
Legal or illegal, it's the same game plan . . . IMO.
Unfortunately, when Hillary claims that the wealthy aren't paying their fair share in taxes (corporations, too), her words transmit the specter of criminality, by these persons.
As if somehow following the existing tax laws are criminal, immoral or unethical.
