Real 'Work'? Clinton Swipes at Chelsea's Profession

(ABC News) - Sen. Hillary Clinton took a swipe at her daughter's profession today at an economic roundtable discussion at a restaurant in Parma, Ohio, suggesting wealthy investment bankers and hedge fund managers on Wall Street aren't doing real 'work.'

The former first lady's daughter, Chelsea Clinton, works for New York-based hedge fund Avenue Capital Group. She previously worked in New York for McKinsey & Company, her first job after graduating with her master's degree from Oxford University.

Good old Hillary. She loves her some class warfare.

I'm curious what her highness considers to be work. If we compare what Hillary does to what Chelsea does, Chelsea wins hands down. All Congress-critters and national politicians perform the same function: they consume oxygen that could have been used by something beneficial.
