HRC: Fourth in Donations from the MIC (and the only Dem in the Top 10)

With the spotlight currently shining on Hillary's gaff about her Wall St ties being in response to 9/11, it seems an opportune moment to highlight another connection of hers that voters should know about.

According to opensecrets.org, Hillary is #4(!) among recipients from the defense industry (i.e., war profiteers), and is the sole Democrat among the top 14 of the list.

Because of the serious consequences that result in the way of human suffering, it is vitally important for voters to understand that Hillary would be more likely to commit to military action, relative to someone like Bernie who has served the interest of the people and is not beholden to wealthy defense corporations.

she will help the poor. How naive. She will help her friends that helped her become one of the 1%.

This is a class war. Which side are you on? Goldman-Sachs is on the side against the poor.

She just gets worse by the minute.
