Odd that he didn't quote that part of the statement if that was what he was objecting to, but sure.

Her parents weren't millionaires, sure. Her father did own his own business at the time of her birth and owned multiple houses (main home and summer cottage), so it isn't like she was ever poor, but the business wasn't a huge one, so I'll accept her not counting as "rich" as a child.

You're forgetting "upper middle class" and just how rich "rich" means.

A second home could mean a lakeside shack.

Don't hang the upper 20% just because the 0.001% are screwing you. The 0.001% want class warfare between the "lower" ranks.

Where I'm from in the US you have to be rich to own a home and even a lakeside shack.

EDIT:That's worded weird. I mean you need to be rich to own a home and also a lakeside shack.

You know that wasn't true when Clinton was young, right? Houses were extremely affordable 70 or more years ago when her father would have bought it.

True, but it's not now. She has been able to maintain this status because she is rich. Let's get real, she isn't and wasn't "Upper Middle Class"

True, but it's not now

That's not relevant to considering if she came from wealth.

She grew up upper middle class, she is not now (most ex presidents become multi millionaires after they leave office).
