If this were just some ex-President making a ton of cash for speeches, I really wouldn't care. The problem is that he's gunning for the White House, as "First Dude" (or whatever the title will be; we've never had one before).
Hillary constantly uses her experience as First Lady as political experience, and basically touts it as equivalent to VP or more. Similarly, if Hillary wins, Bill isn't going to just sit around the WH and screw interns (though he'll probably do that too), he's going to be using it as a political office, just like she did, and he'll use his position as her husband to influence her. So these people paying "speaking fees" are really just practicing legalized bribery.
