Hillary Clinton the Banker's Choice - I'm wth Her!

Oh joy unbounded. She can tell them to "cut it out" again. Worked so well the first time.

Wall Street Bets on a Democrat

"Clinton gathered almost 70 cents of every $1 spent in the presidential race by employees of the six biggest U.S. banks in the first quarter, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Government based on Federal Election Commission reports. "

-snip-

One of her most prominent backers during her last presidential run, Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein, was asked on CNBC in February if he's still behind her.

“I don't want to help or hurt anybody by giving them an endorsement,” Blankfein said.

Look out for more donations and votes. That's pretty much about all.

2. Yes - just like she has her entire career. Like helping decimate the middle class.

Would the number of US jobs that the Clintons have killed be a calculable number?

Gone is the middle class, hello China, hello Mexico.

Would you like fries with that?

And you think this is a good system of government? Taking money from worthy causes and then supporting they is so fucking ass backward.

Princess Wall St. doesn't need my money and even if she got any of it, she won't represent me because I can't give her enough.
