LTC (Join to see) Just more hypocrisy on her part and that of the Liberals. When this first came to light and people with common sense commented about the hypocrisy of Hillary wearing such an expensive garment (that looks like a tent) while railing against economic inequality, they started mentioning Donald Trump and his expensive suits, to deflect attention away from Hillary. The problem with that, hence the hypocrisy, is that Trump is not beating the bandwagon of income inequality. Far from it, he flaunts his wealth and makes no bones about how great Capitalism is, as opposed to the Obama/Clinton/Sanders Socialist views of the world. Then they say that such comments are "mean-spirited" and have no place in politics, yet I did not hear that rhetoric when the Democrats were slamming Ann Romney for wearing expensive clothes.

Liberals are hypocrites ... It is in their DNA.

If one "earned" their way to wear expensive brands, why not wear it? I don't agree with their view of inequality, but I believe it does exist.

SrA Edward Vong - I don't disagree with you. I don't apologize for driving expensive cars and wearing a Rolex watch and expensive suits, but I also don't go around spouting about the evils of income equality. I earn the money I make and what I buy with it is my business.

I think there is more of an "effort equality" issue in this country than "income equality" issue. I believe everyone should be given th same opportunities with the same starting point, but not that everyone has the right to expect the same end point. You reap what you sow...

Hillary certainly has the right to wear expensive clothes (even though most of her money can be classified as "ill-gotten gains"), but she needs to stop her in-congruent income equality rhetoric, as it simply reveals her to be the hypocrite she is.

Yeah, it's sort of like when the republican candidates get elected on a family values platform, then get caught having an affair, but refuse to resign. Or when a gay republican votes against gay marriage before his sexual orientation is public. But the difference is that the democrats believe that you can level the playing field and give working people a fairer chance to improve their financial situation, whereas the republicans insist that all you have to do is give the super rich more money, and it will somehow trickle down to the lower classes. We've seen how that works. Worker productivity is way up over the last decades, while real wages are stagnant or lower. But the super wealthy just keep getting richer, and the difference between the pay of a worker and the CEO has gone from around a 10:1 ratio to around a 100-200 : 1 ratio. So the bottom line is that the US worker is producing more, making less, and the rich are the ones getting richer off that increased production by the working class.

I guess they don't care if the "agent of change" is spectacled in gold and diamonds as long as someone cares about the plight of those who are poor and can't seem to find a better life. She is a poor example of a person empathetic to the poor considering she was bitching about hard financial times. I guess that's what happens when you buy multi-million dollar homes.
