Don't worry. I'm sure she'll get John Kerry right on it if she get's elected.

Seriously, is ANYBODY stupid enough to fall for Hillary's folksy little stroll through Iowa where she hobnobs with the "little people"?

Do you remember when our lubricated weathervane Hillary latched onto high gas prices and swore to "take those profits"?

She's a corporatist to the core and has a 20 year track-record proving it.

I really feel sorry for the average Joe in America if it comes down to what are essentially two corporatist republicans running for President....and that's the way things are heading.

History teaches us that a corporatist Democratic president with republican house\senate is nothing short of utter devastation for Americas workers.

Mitt Romney donated 29% of his income to charity in 2011.

The Clinton Foundation donates under 20% of its funding to charity each year.

Exactly - they are the 1%. Will they really cut themselves off? yeah, right.

Technically - there will always be a 1%. You can never remove them. You can reduce their income or wealth - but that's about it.

Then the only 1%ers left will be politicians like Hillary who gained it thru governmental power. Pretty common around the world really.
