115. She takes millions from the banks

Wed Apr 6, 2016, 09:24 PM

and will not even try to break them up. We get what we want (and need) by fighting for it, loudly and persistently.

The biggest voting bloc in the nation is now a party-less blob called "independents" because they have realized both parties are bought and paid for, and don't represent the interests of the people.

We turn things around by electing candidates on clean money who WILL take the fight to the monied elites. They won't immediately win, so what? Your candidate won't even fight, she'll fight for the other side, the monied elites.

There is a lot more sentiment out there than is readily apparent for limiting the power and influence of the financial industry. Once someone with some actual power starts fighting them in earnest, things will change. I don't know the timeframe, but I do know the timeframe if we elect corporate-funded politicians like Hillary: NEVER.
