Is Hillary being courted by and/or providing access to the well-heeled companies and industry groupsincluding Goldman Sachs, the Carlyle Group, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, the National Association of Realtors, and the US Green Building Council, among many othersthat have paid her to speak? This is a great way for a company to get access to her, to hear what shes thinking, to be remembered if and when she does run for office, and to help her grow that nice little nest egg that she and her husband have been intent on building, says Meredith McGehee, policy director at the Campaign Legal Center.
If it is not clear to every voter by now that their political candidates and presidents are not the representatives of the people, by the people and for the people, but rather are the representatives of secretive investment groups, one major player being the Carlyle Group, then they are still reading fairy stories from the 20th Century. Republican or Democrat, they own them both. No doubt both will promote the TPP. And in every football stadium the show will go on
In the 21st Century, political parties and elected presidents work for THE CORPORATION. A giant corporate octopus squid that has no interest in running governments or even nations, but has spread its tentacles worldwide in order to achieve a one world government under corporate control, where like the EU parliament, the elected officials are not put there by the voters, but by the same secretive investment groups that fund both Bush and Clinton. Their objective is a corporate, feudal fascist system with only two tiers of society. Them, the 1 %, and US, the 99%.
