We the people vs Goldman Sachs

Another hurdle has landed, among the many that get thrown in Hillary Clinton's lane (usually of her own making, even if she didn't do anything actually wrong), in the form of highly paid speeches to one of the most powerful bank/investment firms on Wall Street:   Goldman Sachs.   It seems that, between the end of her term as Secretary of State and her entry into the presidential race, she gave a lot of speeches for all kinds of organizations and companies.

She gave a series of three speeches for Goldman Sachs for a total of $625,000.   People are asking:  what did she say to them to make it worthwhile?   What did they/will they get for it?

Compare:  Bernie Sanders had a blow-out win in New Hampshire, defeating Clinton by 22% points.   Within less than 2 days following that win, his grassroots supporters contributed over $7,000,000 to his campaign.    No billionaires, no SuperPacs.    Just We, the People wanting a new kind of politics and a different world.
