You on the other hand had thought it was only necessary to talk about Bill's background.
The majority indeed was made by Bill. But over $11.5 million was made by Hillary according to her website.

Though you should know what 'assuming' does.

You inferred the Clintons made $107m in 2007

He made most of their money
The majority indeed was made by Bill. But over $11.5 million was made by Hillary according to her website.
Not bad, but less than 11% of their combined total income over the 7 years

After all, "average Americans" do nothing for anybodys' bottom line whilst rising to the higher echelons of society. Poor people are a nuisance no matter who you are.

But it must be several years since he pulled up at a gas station swiped his card and started pumping.
