Hillary Clinton's Corporate Donors

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Despite pledging to stop corporate lobbyists and playing herself off as the defender of the common man, Hillary's contributors speak for themselves. Several internet sites can be found that disclose public donations, and Hillary's is a laundry list of corporate bankers and media barons. Sure, Hillary's got her fair share of rock stars and movie celebs supporting her, but she's also got major money coming in from different business sectors. There's nothing illegal about it, but it highlights just how fused our two-party system has become, and just which wheels are being greased behind the scenes. Hillary Clinton publicly espouses populist messages and promises to repeal corporate welfare and subsidies, yet is being bankrolled by the very corporations that she pledges to fight. As the old saying goes, 'Money talks'...

Just a few of her corporate sponsors.

Jack Abernethy, CEO of FOX TV

Chris Albrecht, HBO chairman

Paul Allen, Microsoft co-founder

Lloyd Blankenfein, Goldman Sachs chairman

Warren Buffett, Berkshire-Hathaway, billionaire

Ron Burkle, Supermarket magnate

August Busch III, Anheuser-Busch chairman

John Catsimatidis, Supermarket mogul

Peter Chernin, News corps. COO

Donny Deutsch, Adverstising exec

Barry Diller, media mogul

Tom Freston, former Viacom president

Brad Grey, Paramount pictures chairman

Vernon Jordan, Washington power broker

Jeff Kindler, Pfizer CEO

Norman Lear, TV producer

John Mack, Morgan Stanley chairman

Rupert Murdoch, News corps. chairman

Ronald Perelman, billionaire investor

Sumner Redstone, Viacom chairman

Brian Roberts, Comcast chairman

Hilary Rosen, lobbyist, former RIAA CEO

Haim Saban, media mogul

Ivan Seidenberg, Verizon chairman

Terry Semel, former Yahoo CEO

Ben Silverman, NBC chairman

Sy Sternberg, NY Life insurance chairman

Howard Stringer, Sony CEO

Richard Thalheimer, Sharper image chairman

Sandy Weill, Citigroup chairman

Robert Wright, former NBC chairman

So we have Peter Chernin, Barry Diller, and Rupert Murdoch, all big wigs at the 'right wing' FOX news corps, all donating and publicly supporting Hillary Clinton. And of course it even came out in the mainstream news that back in May Rupert Murdoch held a fundraiser for Hillary's campaign.

Mrs. Clinton has brought in $304,000 in PAC money from the business sector, which makes up for a total of 56% of the total PAC money she has netted. She has also received over $500,000 from lobbyists, $935,000 from banks, $269,000 from pharmaceuticals, $4.7 million from securities, and $2.2 million from the TV and movie industry.

Millionaires and billionaires from all sectors: business and marketing, real estate, media and television, movie studios, pharmaceutical cos, energy, all donating to candidates... even the ones like Hillary Clinton who offer to stop corporate welfare and turn back the influence of lobbyists in Washington. The picture is clear. The power elite in Washington are simply a group of incestuous cronies and demagogues, and have only one interest in mind: self interest. The business and corporate sectors know that the economy is tanking, and are doing everything in their power to maintain success during the consolidation period. And there's one candidate they know who will not expose their operations, and who will continue the status quo of the great raping of our land, and that candidate is Hillary Clinton.

Looks the like the US is on the right track with 'right wing,' right?

Well. Sort of. The status quo definitely wants to stay that way. Hillary talks out of both corners of her mouth, which ironically means she is verbally biting the hand that feeds her. Empty rhetoric.
