Bernie Sanders reportedly earned just over $200,000 in 2014. That same year, Hillary Clinton, Sanders's top Democratic rival, gave about 45 paid speeches, many of which paid her more in a single hour than Sanders made the entire year. The Washington Post reports on Sanders's income. "The senator from Vermont reported income of just more than $200,000 on his 2014 returns, according to the first few pages of his federal and Vermont filings, which were shared with The Washington Post back in June. On Friday, the couple is planning to release the rest of the returns, including attached schedules," writes the paper. Bernie Sanders reportedly earned just over $200,000 in 2014.

On Friday, the couple is planning to release the rest of the returns, including attached schedules," writes the paper. "The vast majority of the couple's income came from Sanders's $174,000 Senate salary and Social Security benefits that both he and his wife, Jane, a former college president, receive." In 2014 alone, Clinton gave speeches to GE (for $225,500), the National Automobile Dealers Association ($325,500), Deutsche Bank AG ($280,000), and many more. As CNN reported at the beginning of this year, "Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, combined to earn more than $153 million in paid speeches from 2001 until Hillary Clinton launched her presidential campaign last spring, a CNN analysis shows. "In total, the two gave 729 speeches from February 2001 until May, receiving an average payday of $210,795 for each address. The two also reported at least $7.7 million for at least 39 speeches to big banks, including Goldman Sachs and UBS, with Hillary Clinton, the Democratic 2016 front-runner, collecting at least $1.8 million for at least eight speeches to big banks." Here's a list of Hillary Clinton's publicly disclosed paid speeches since leaving the State Department, totaling a sweet $21,667,000:

#1. To: cranky, Vatican feeling the Bern (#0)
U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders speaks during a conference at the Vatican on Friday. Photo: Andrew Medichini/Pool/REUTERS http://www.wsj.com/articles/bernie-sanders-addresses-academic-conference-at-the-vatican-1460754060 Bernie is speaking at the Vatican today. He could pick up a few million Catholics. Mr Sanders sat beside Bolivia President Evo Morales http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36057229 For the life of me, I don't see why Clinton is considered unbeatable. I know she has the delegates in her pocket but surely crap like this disqualifies her for elected office. Not to mention a quarter century of graft at the Federal level. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
She is beatable. Trump would beat her, if she gets the chance. Bernie may yet beat her. Truth is, Bernie and Trump say a lot of the same things, and the things both are saying are right. If the Republicans rob Trump and the Democrats put Bernie up there, it'll be a pleasure to vote for Bernie. Oh, and with Bernie Sanders, gun rights will actually be protected. Bernie gets rural America, With Hillary, they're gone with the wind.
I think she is. But then, I thought Øbama was too. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
I think she is. But then, I thought Øbama was too. He was but then entered the corrupt, inept Party of Stupid. I used to think that that meant the PTB of the Party were stupid now I realize that it refers to those that are still supporting the Party. But worse yet, there is no hope for a Trump dope. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
He was. But then the Republicans betrayed the nationalists on the Border, the pro-lifers on abortion, and the general electorate on Obamacare. And then they were no longer competitive. Trump promises what they want on the Border, on abortion, and not exactly what they want on Obamacare: he will not repeal it because he understands - correctly - that universal health insurance is necessary - but Trump will work to make a system that works. Obama just copied ROMNEY'S plan - Obamacare is the REPUBLICAN health plan of Massachusetts. Why vote for Romney when you can have the same thing with Obama, but Obama won't lie to you about it? That's why the Republicans lost. It's why no Establishment candidate can get out of the margins, it's why Trump has run away with the election all season.
Do you know what this shows. there are a lot of stupid people with too much money around. That there is someone who is not part of this should be refreshing
Be still my beating heart. But the fix is in unless the fbi grows a pair. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
Lots of commies....
