A vote for Hillary is a vote for Wall Street

It's just the truth

I owe almost my entire Wall Street career to the Clintons. I am not alone; most bankers owe their careers, and their wealth, to them. Over the last 25 years they – with the Clintons it is never just Bill or Hillary – implemented policies that placed Wall Street at the center of the Democratic economic agenda, turning it from a party against Wall Street to a party of Wall Street.

Despite Wall Street’s reticence, key appointments were swinging their way. Robert Rubin, who had been CEO of Goldman Sachs, was appointed to a senior White House job as director of the National Economic Council. The Treasury Department was also being filled with banking friendly economists who saw the markets as a solution, not as a problem.

More than 23 years following Bill Clinton’s election, Wall Street is very much intertwined with the Clintons: they helped fundamentally change Wall Street, and Wall Street fundamentally changed the Democratic party. So maybe they really do know what it takes to reform both.

Maybe. Except that Hillary Clinton continues to receive large donations from top bankers. Ask anyone who has spent the last two decades on Wall Street which politicians have worked for them the hardest and most will grudgingly admit it’s the Clintons. I doubt that will change anytime soon.

She even said it herself:

1. In Addition - A Vote For HRC Is A Vote For Either Trump Or Cruz

2. The informed voter knows this.

What their excuse is for supporting her, I have no idea.

If they are wealthy I understand.

If they are working class I don't understand.

If they are living in poverty I don't understand.

The uninformed, misinformed, and disfranchised voters are the

challenge that we face.

If Bernie had the attention the MSM gave Trump, things would be

different.

If DWS and the Democratic party had Bernie's back, things would be

different.

Bernie is fighting the establishment and the Democratic party has sided

with them.

It is nothing short of amazing what Bernie has accomplished.

I thank everyone who is working for, or supporting Bernie with donations !!!!!!!!!!!!

This chance will not come again in my lifetime.

3. Wall Street gives her piles of money because they want her to win.

If one votes for Hillary, they are helping Wall Street get what they want. It's unavoidable, even if unintentional.

5. But wait. Isn't she "Fighting for Us?"

6. And, a vote for regime change and continued wars.

7. Elizabeth Warren says different

8. That depends on Hillary being trustworthy, which definitely not one of her character traits

9. I Still Laugh When I Hear "Cut it out"

It's ironic.

When the Koch brothers give money to Ted Cruz, Dems cry foul.

When Mitt Romney was bankrolled by Wall Street, Dems were appalled.

When George Bush took in money from the oil industry, Dems cited undue influence.

When Hillary takes in money from the Pharmaceuticals, the Fossil Fuel Industry, Wall Street, the Media (Time Warner/CNN), Democrats get chastised by Hillary and her supporters for questioning her integrity. Go figure...

Bernie Sanders---> "Not for Sale"

10. When one owns a share in Wall St, one owns a share of its results.

We live in the most honest representation, the most progress, shareholders cannot hold back from us.

From Fallujah to Flint.

11. Yup

No more Clintons, please.
