The Clintons’ income puts them at the upper end of the top 0.1 per cent of earners in the US population, according to government data. Economic inequality has emerged as an early theme with candidates of both parties vying for the WH in 2016.
The ‘one percent’ has become a talking point in policy discussions about the divide between rich and poor, cited by politicians to support everything from increased Wall Street oversight to raising wages to overhauling the tax code. Clinton announced her candidacy last month by saying: “everyday Americans need a champion and I want to be that champion.” In early campaign stops, Clinton has said how she believes the ‘deck is stacked’ against middle class Americans and that it is time to ‘reshuffle the cards’.
The Clintons themselves have faced criticism for their privileged status. Last year, Hillary Clinton said they were ‘dead broke’ when they left the WH in 2001, even though Bill Clinton made millions of dollars giving speeches after his presidency. Hillary Clinton, a former top diplomat, US senator and first lady, has earned as much as $2,50,000 per speech since leaving the State Department in 2013. Clinton, like all presidential candidates who entered the race before April 15, was required to file an account of her personal finances by May 15.
