$55,000 Per Speech Speaker For Hire

What in the world is happening when any person at all can command a fee for a speech that is more than a hell of a lot of people make in an entire year? John Edwards spoke to UC Davis students about poverty for $55k. He yaps about financial barriers for college students and then ups the next years salary for them by charging a crap load of money to talk to them about how messed up the world is for it's problems. What an idiot. Why even speak on poverty if you are gonna charge that much to do it? Choose a different topic or charge a different price. I'm all for people making money but geez! $200 or $400 haircuts or whatever it is and now this. No way would I vote for this guy. At the very least he would spend too much of the taxpayers money on pointless crap he could have saved money on.
