The Patriot Post® · The Irony in Clinton's Berating Wealthy CEOs

In Iowa, Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton gave another lecture on income inequality. “Look,” she said, “the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top. We know that. And so we have to be especially focused on how we’re going to bring about the changes that will ignite opportunity for everybody willing to work hard for it. … There’s something wrong when the average American CEO makes 300 times more than the typical American worker. Or when hedge fund managers themselves make more and pay less in taxes than nurses and truck drivers.”

The Daily Caller notes, “The report Clinton is alluding to found that the average salary for CEOs is $11 million, 335 times higher than the average American. Since January 2014, Clinton has made $12 million giving speeches. Her dig at hedge fund managers is equally interesting, considering her own son-in-law is a hedge fund manager.”
