17. There is no difference between the Clinton corporatism and the Koch corporatism

Sat Apr 23, 2016, 10:48 PM

Apr 2016

Clinton happily rakes in millions from powerful special intererests--in speaking fees and in the form of campaign contributions, which are nothing more than bribes.

The Kochs buy off politicians constantly. They fund their campaigns and those politicians in turn--do the Koch bidding. Our senator from Iowa, Joni Ernst is a Koch darling. She can't debunk global warming fast enough. Who do you think paid for her position and her votes? The Koch Brothers.

Who do you think paid for Hillary's fracking cheerleading all over the globe? Those oil lobbyists that she absolutely insists have nothing do to with anything! Who do you think pays for her to push back on reinstating Glass Steagall? The Goldman Sachs gang who signs her paychecks and donates to her campaign.

Please. The Kochs and the Clintons are playing the same game.
