Charges $55000 dollars to speak at a conference on Poverty to be attended by college students sounds obscene to me. Especially when this politician net worth is upwards of $40 million. What do you think and no this not a Repub or democrat hit

Isn't it ironic to charge an insane amount of money to give a speech about poverty (of all topics) to a bunch of college students? Republican or Democrat, this person is a crook, plain and simple.
Where ever money can be made politics and politicians will determine how to get at it.
Meanwhile we are trying to raise enough money to send approx 20 members or our church to the DR to assist in getting out the gospel, take over some supplies , and help with a mission that feeds homeless children.
If you know who this person is have this person get in touch with me so I can tap 'em for a donation. Imjstbob@sbcglobal.net.
You forgot to mention the part about the school being funded by our taxes....
There's also a former president that made nearly $10 million in speaking fees last year, but still managed to charge tax payers $1.16 million for various things including $500,000 for office rent and $76,000 in phone charges.
These things are not illegal, but they are far from ethical.
John Edwards is a typical trial lawyer, he will cry a tear for a buck and screw a college for 55k to talk about something he knows absolutely nothing about.
