Elton John is going to perform at a special benefit concert for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, Wed., April 9, 2008, at Radio City Music Hall. Tickets are as high as $2,300.
Big deal, right? well, it kind of is. See, eventually we will find out that Hillary has been getting a lot of money with connections to China and Russia. But what’s wrong with Elton John’s participation?
Well, it turns out that old Elton John is a British citizen (even though he lives in Atlanta). As such, his professional services would be an ILLEGAL “in-kind contribution by a foreign national” unless he is paid his usual going rate for a for-profit concert. Which means they have to pay him. But if they pay him, the benefit is a lot less.
Discuss.
