Listening to Hillary Clinton give a speech on inequality is like listening to Dick Cheney give a speech on the evils of torture.

Wow. Sarah Palin's wardrobe-gate all over again, but this time from the right.

At least SOS Clinton gives national speeches about income inequality.

Mr. Trump's idea of income inequality is when one of his golfing buddies has a better set of clubs.

Yeah....she got $250,000 a whack giving speeches to Wall Street where I am sure income inequality was the driving theme...Liberalism is a mental disorder....

Is the idea here that a wealthy person should be disqualified from discussing income inequality?
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

No, just by someone who started it, has no business lecturing people about how bad it is.
When it comes to lying, cheating, or stealing, consult your DNC or GOP handbook.

I'm not saying that I wouldn't, under any circumstances, vote for her. I am saying that right now, today, I just don't see it happening.

Disqualified? Certainly not. But given that she has never even mentioned income inequality as a problem until Bernie Sanders brought it up. And given that her husband was instrumental in creating the economic environment that has helped stoke income inequality. And given that she and her husband have managed to parley their political careers into a 150 million dollar family fortune. And given that a significant portion of that family fortune was gained directly from the banking industry in the form of "fees" for relatively trivial tasks like talking for an hour, it's just a tad difficult to believe that her heart is really in it.

I mean, sure, it's possible that she is actually very concerned about income inequality and she isn't looking to protect the financial industry from any significant changes in the economic environment. Sure, that's possible. But her $12,500 Armani jacket kind of undercuts that argument.

No, the fact that this wealthy person has enabled and supported the current growing income disparity is the reason she should be disqualified from discussing it or ridiculed as she wears a $12,500 frock as the case may be.

Who better to talk about the inequity inherent within the system than a very wealthy person fully benefiting from it while running for a political office capable of supporting change?

It just seems far more plausible that she is behaving like most politicians and just saying the words we want to hear with no real intention of doing anything about the problem she's describing.

It's not like income inequality is hurting her or her family, after all. So why would she care? Because she just really, really empathizes with the poor? Hillary Clinton? Really? That stretches credulity.
