Hillary Clinton took in all of her wealth from corporations, but she's not going to return the

favor? Who could possibly believe that shit?

Anyone receiving the amount of money her and Bill took in will be corrupted, it's human nature.

Wall Street didn't make her rich because they love her they made her rich because she will do their bidding. They expect a return back for buying her services as president.

Wall street gets a yacht we get a happy meal toy.

That's how this system works and it's why we have to change it whether Bernie wins or not.

Who is stupid enough, to buy that?

More importantly, who is evil enough to try and sell that?
