It's awesome that all the bankers who ruined the US economy are in jail, and that prescription drug prices are not going through the roof. Whew! Glad none of the Clintons and Obama had any Wall Street or Pharmaceutical ties.

Thank god we've got all this money flooding in for elections because that's how we're going to find a leader that cares about governing. Go Hillary!!

Also no more wars and a huge influx of living wage jobs are drowning us.

And I swear, if one more mega corporate entity pays their fare share of taxes, I'm just going to explode!!!

I'm sorry but the Clintons and Obama just make FDR look pitiful.

Sing it out loud for everyone to hear!!!!
