Rich people can’t care about poverty and jobs?

On Friday afternoon, Hillary Clinton made good on her promise to make her tax returns public. And the returns are being scrutinized. Which was the point of releasing them. But, there’s this attitude about the money that the Clintons have earned that I don’t understand. First of all, when was the last time someone running for president wasn’t rich compared to most Americans? That’s how it is.
But there’s something else. Stories claim Clinton

had long delayed disclosing details of her fortune, for fear of driving blue-collar and low-income voters to Barack Obama. The Illinois senator and his wife have earned about 4 percent of the Clintons’ income during the past seven years.

Um, really? So, what’s going to happen? People will turn from supporting the really rich candidate to the only kind of rich candidate? That doesn’t make any sense to me.
John Edwards, whose dedication to doing something about poverty in this country is, I think, generally accepted, has also made a lot of money. Tax returns made public in 2004 showed that he and his wife made $39 million between 1994 and 2003. Did that stop him from championing what was important to him?
What do you think? Does it matter to you how much money Clinton makes?
