Don't kid yourself, she's part of the 0.01%. At least most 1%'ers I know contributed in some tangible way to human progress and civilization rather than parasitically extract wealth from a broken system.
Saying Hillary is the 1% is an insult to the 1%. Its the 0.01% and above who are the real parasites.
I hate the use of the term 1%. It vastly overstates the number of people who actually have political influence in the US. The actual number of people who fund and influence politics is not enough to fill a large football stadium, and closer to 0.001%. Not everyone on a high enough salary to qualify as 1% is part of the problem, indeed many are allies or would-be allies.

She also said "when families are strong America is strong". Anyone want to emulate the Clinton family?
