A bit of info on how the system works.
 

Just yesterday I saw her on the senate floor speaking against the high salaries of company CEO's..... 

Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York State Senator, now comes under this fancy "Congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan," which means that even if she never gets reelected, she STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies. 

If Bill outlives her, he then inherits HER salary until HE dies. He is already getting his Presidential salary until he dies. If Hillary outlives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies.  Guess who pays for that? WE DO!   It's common knowledge that in order for her to  establish NY residency, they purchased a million dollar-plus house in upscale Chappaqua, New York.   Makes sense. They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still makes sense. 

Here is where it becomes interesting. Their mortgage payments hover at around $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residence HAD to be built within the acreage to house the Secret Service agents. 

The Clintons charge the Federal government $10,000 monthly rent for the use of that extra residence, which is just about equal to their mortgage payment. This means that we, the taxpayers, are paying the Clinton's salary, mortgage, transportation, safety and security,  as well as the salaries for their 12 man staff - and this is all perfectly legal! 

When she runs for President, will you vote for her? 

OMED:  A friend of our editor sent this one in.  It has a nice symmetry to it, and reminds us of Oregon's PERS system..  We should give all our income to the Clintons -- the entire GNP of America, all dividends, all stock, all savings, coin collections, real estate, antiques, watches, necklaces, cars, the works.  Give it all to them, and be done with it.
 

Note: E-RFDs are messages that circulate around the internet.  Some are factual and some are mythical.  We make no distinction between the types, here, but rather offer them pretty much as they come in -- as examples of comment and rumor from a global mind.
