You just wasted keystrokes, NOT going to happen.

Given the NY Times' bias in favor of Clinton, I wonder if the purpose of that article is to hint to the FBI not to indict Clinton. Could it be?

VOTE Hillary Clinton as our next President!
Right. Clean as a whistle. The political puppets who campaigned for her paid homage to the Puppet Queen and then took their payoff. A system as corrupt and rigged as any in history. The Fed makes sure the 1% has all the money out needs to keep the government dependent population in their pocket. Clinton is the Lowlife Champion.

Well, she herself has created so many negatives about herself. It's hard to exhaust them. Bernie only addressed the 0.1% of them.

You DO realize they pay 34% tax in Sweden right? You really want to give 34% of what you make to the government? Give me a break. I know several people who live there, it's not the paradise it's made out to be by people who live here and have no clue. No to mention, those countries have TINY populations. Sweden has 9 million people. There are more than that in Los Angeles County alone. You can't take something from a country that small and apply it to the US with our over 360 million and expect it to work anywhere close to the same.

We pay more tax than that and have a crappy pharma-insurance-serving healthcare system, pay not only taxes but also hefty insurance premiums, drugs, and the current fad is bathroom rights for transgenders. What a "great" life that Clinton would continue.

Child care, health care and education is extremely expensive in America. Not so in Germany or Sweden or other countries funded by taxes. People expect the government to serve the people and fund human needs in these countries, not the donor class. What a radical concept. Funny how people complain it can only work with countries of 5 million or 10 million, which would be the same excuse Germany could have used; "hey we have 82 million people, so it wont work here!". Oh wait, it works in Germany too!
