Disgusting Clintons make $109 million and make $10 million in

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and former President Bill Clinton
released tax data Friday showing they earned $109 million over the
last eight years, an ascent into the uppermost tier of American
taxpayers that seemed unimaginable in 2001, when they left the White
House with little money and facing millions in legal bills.
The bulk of their wealth has come from speaking and book-writing,
which together account for almost $92 million, including a $15 million
advance -- larger than previously thought -- from Mr. Clinton's 2004
autobiography, "My Life." The former president's vigorous lecture
schedule, where his speeches command upwards of $250,000, brought in
almost $52 million.
During that time, the Clintons paid $33.8 million in federal taxes and
claimed deductions for $10.2 million in charitable contributions. The
contributions went to a family foundation run by the Clintons that has
given away only about half of the money they put into it, and most of
that was last year, after Mrs. Clinton declared her candidacy.
