MPDC, I feel your pain. I don't like the Clintons anymore than you do; but, the system is broken. It is not just them. Most elected officials from the President on down benefit from laws they pass to make them wealthy, comfortable and secure. They have pensions, perks, benefits, etc. that your average citizen can only dream about.
We do not have a monarchy, but we sure do have a political class which has evolved into something like the old monarchical systems. The Tudors, Savoys, Bourbons and Habsburgs have been replaced by the Kennedys, Bushes, Clintons, etc.; and, various and sundry others at the Congressional and local levels.
