64. And you call me delusional. The goal of capitalistic wealthy is to gain more and more wealth.

The wealth of the 1% has tripled over the last 30 years while the 99% has suffered. This wasn't an accident. It just follows the capitalism plan. And the Clinton Family have amassed $15,000,000 in a very short time following this business model of grab what you can. "MOST businessmen do NOT want their country to decline into a class-stratified, semi-developed nation with a business-dominated fascist-leaning government and an increasingly impoverished workforce." Most businessmen want more and more profits. That's their number one goal. The banksters didn't give tens of millions to Clinton to hear her tell them to cut back on their profits. And please, please don't give the crap about an improved economy will help everyone. It hasn't yet. Rising tides only raise the yachts and sink the dingys the peons are in.

It's delusional to believe that Clinton can talk the Rich Fat Cats into sharing their wealth with us peons.
