Wall Street owns the Clintons: Why Hillary can’t outrun her husband’s presidency

[kgnu_fan]

It is an article from last year, still relevant now.



The Democratic favorite wants to recast herself as a populist, but her ties to banking elites simply run too deep

1. Salon??? How about a credible source

Evidently, may Sanders supporters do not remember the Bill Clinton years in the WH. Try as some might, like that article, the average American thrived while Bill was in the WH. To try and push that all aside indicates an agenda by some people to diminish those facts.

5. Well, a couple of things like NAFTA and repealing Glass Steagle took awhile to develope

didn't they? Yeah, I did okay when Bill was in office but then we have to look at how things played out.

If I really broke it down, I probably gained the most the fastest when Reagan was president. But those policies are many of my worst problems now. Not a good way to judge a president.

2. She is a realist

The government is owned by banksters. That's reality and that is who she running with.

She is no populist. Bernie is.

6. But Bernie forgot how to get that to all change, or evidently didn't know

To get ANY change moving, at the very least, there will have to be a Democrat majority in the Senate. Bernie has done NOTHING to help and Democrats running for the Senate. He has helped three people running for House seats and that is it. It will take that Democrat majority in the Senate to get a SCOTUS justice through. Then real change can start to happen. How the devil did Bernie neglect to figure how to get that Democrat majority in the Senate????? Seems like Bernie has been too busy talking instead of working for that Senate majority. While some people, and maybe yourself, and Bernie condemned that George Clooney fundraiser - none of the money went to HRC by the way, that money went to Democrat running for the Senate primarily. Even George knows that the Senate has to turn before things can happen. Why didn't Bernie understand that?

3. The MIC owns the nation along with Wall Street, don't forget our national death dealers!

Government contractors own this country, Microsoft and Boeing own America. The politicians just do what they say, mostly. 50 plus years of a militant plutocracy and yet we still like to blame individual leaders.

4. She is popular with Wall St bankers.

And wants to continue progress to the right. Voila! A 'populist progressive'!

7. Who owns the NYSE, who owns the Chicago Stock Exchange?

How about an Europe company with its office in Atlanta and China he bidding for the CSE. Money is global and will never go back to the 1960's model.
