Add Exxon (over $1 mil to Clinton Foundation) who is being investigated by the Justice Dept. for hiding evidence about climate change and JP Morgan ($450 k for speeches) to the list of corporations who, like GoldmanSachs, have perpetrated a corporate coup on our people. Goldman paid Hillary Clinton $675,000 for three speeches. If you add what Goldman also paid her husband, the total rises to $153,000,000. Moreover, former GoldmanSach’s vice-chairman Robert D. Hormats, a Hillary Clinton economic advisor in favor of deregulation, also happens to be a big supporter of the TPP. (Note: Hillary says she will fight against Climate Change and the TPP despite the fact that a million-dollar donor is being investigated over climate change and that a $153,000,000 investor is pushing for the TPP, while one of their people serves as one of her economic advisors.)
The Clintons "are the epitome of an established elitist family." That's why I cannot in good conscience vote for Clinton. I can't help but wonder if Exxon and others can claim their donations or speech costs as tax deductions. I assume they can. The collusion here is implicit. To demand explicit examples of "bought votes" or some other obvious manifestation of corruption is to be disingenuous. Deep corruption is rarely explicit, nearly always implicit. It is systemic and ubiquitous, the blood flowing through the veins of Washington D.C. and beyond. Hillary Clinton, in war and in peace, is above all else encumbered by business and big money interests.
