"Jackson's true modern counterpart--as you have probably figured out by now--is Hillary Clinton. Their stories are closely parallel. If Hillary started out "dead broke," as she claims she did, after her husband's presidency, so did Jackson begin with nothing as an orphan. Neither of them became successful through starting and running a successful business. Rather, they cashed in on their political influence. Just as Jackson made money on land deals stemming from his success as a general, Hillary too figured out ways to enrich herself through her government positions, becoming fabulously wealthy in just a few years."
