Oh that poor donor class. Poor, poor donor class. They've been buying your politician for 40 years and laughed at you behind your back and you continue to defend them. Its ridiculous. They dont care about you. Why do you care so much about them? Goldman Sachs are now in charge of the Treasury, just like under Obama, and you think they are going to "fix the corrupt system" that made them rich? How naive can you be?
Lol! I have news for you. I am happy Goldman Sachs is as powerful as they are. I own quite a bit of their stock! That's why I "care" so much about them.
It has never been the "little guy" paying for rooms in Trump hotels or buying his $200.00 made-in-China shirts and ties. How could people be so stupid as to believe Trump was for the "little guy"?
The only contribution the "little guy" has ever made to Trump's wealth has been from those little guys who were forced to work for less than other little guys.
It is becoming very apparent, from his picks, that things ARE going to change for the working people who supported him................but certainly not for the better.
As much as they hated Obama, he put a lot of policies in place to protect the working class......like pay for overtime, and protections against discrimination. The people Trump is putting in there are going to rape those laws and make it easier for big businesses to prosper, at the expense of their workers.
Anyone who believes that because companies make more money it somehow trickles down to their workers needs to look at history and reality. The CEO of the company I work for makes 1.2 MILLION a year, PLUS bonuses. Our average worker is minimum wage, and the most you can cap out at, over your lifetime, is $12.00 an hour. THAT IS THE REALITY OF HOW BUSINESSES REWARD THEIR EMPLOYEES !
All of Trump's picks come from that background, none have fought for the rights of the little guy. His followers are in for a rude awakening when they see how he implements his plans for America. As I have said before, there will be no joy in saying "We told you so" because this is going to negatively impact all of us, you, and we on the other side.
it's a silly argument to begin with. Look at the people in Obama's cabinet. John Kerry comes to mind. His worth is almost $200 million. Others are worth a lot as well. Calling out Trumps cabinet is more liberal hypocrisy. but we have come to expect this garbage.
If a person is the best person, personal wealth really has nothing to do with it.
Personal wealth is not an abstract thing, the wealth didn't magically appear it doesn't mean that have a Scrooge McDuck style pool of money in their house. It means they have holdings, business interests, strong intertwined relationships often with leaders of industry that they are suppose to keep in check and set policies that don't allow those people to profit at the expense of the interest of the tax payer. You are counting on a lot of people to do the right thing with little to no oversight. Regard less of what you think a Sec Clinton's government would have done you need to pay attention to what this upcoming government is getting ready to do, you should care about a transfer of wealth wheter is from the middle class to the lower classes via entitlements or to captains of industry.
Lol! I have news for you. I am happy Goldman Sachs is as powerful as they are. I own quite a bit of their stock! That's why I "care" so much about them.
Haha, you're just a tiny fish who have no choice. And you will have to bail out the banks again. Whether its Obama or Trump, Goldman Sachs and Wall Street set economic policy in America. Dont try to pretend you care about how influenced Hillary and Obama were by Goldman Sachs and Wall Street.
Just as I say this, Trump has named Goldman CEO as National Economic Council director! You couldnt make this stuff up!
We are getting rid of THE most destructive President the US has ever had.
The man offered no leadership and brought no real world experience to the job.
BTW, wasn't Mark Cuban (a TX Billionaire) 100% supporting of Hillary?
Not to mention other Hillary 2016 supporting billionaires:
Warren Buffet (currently the 3rd richest person in the world)
Jeff Bezos (currently the 5th richest person in the world, founder of Amazon.com, owns The Washington Post, etc)
Michael Bloomberg (currently the 8th richest person in the world)
George Soros (currently the 23rd richest person in the world)
Marc Benioff (Founder and CEO of Salesforce.com)
Sheryl Sandberg (Chief Operating Officer of Facebook, and one of a fairly small group of non company founders who have become billionaires from stock options)
Not to mention other Hillary 2016 supporting billionaires:
SANDERS was 100% right is the name of the thread. And he was. He isnt beholden to anyone but the average salt of the earth Americans unlike the puppets of Wall Street you adore who laugh at people like you behind your back.
With Trump's picks we are seeing the closest thing to a plutocracy of wealthy crony capitalists that we have ever seen in the US. We will be ruled by the rich. We'll see how it goes.
The rich bought Clinton and her foundation. The Rich lost in this election and the middle class won.

For any of your drivel to be applicable to this conversation, she would have had to appoint these donors to cabinet level positions. So to be clear taking donations from someone is not equal to appointing them to cabinet level positions.

No, the MIDDLE CLASS did not win.......a pompous millionaire (maybe billionaire) won. He convinced you he is going to do things for you simply to get your vote !
Ask yourself this, what has Donald Trump EVER done for anyone else ? Ever. The answer is nothing. He is even so hypocritical as to denounce China for taking all of our jobs, and EVERY product he buys comes from China or other countries. And you Trumpees defend that by saying "He is a smart businessman !"
Look at what you are saying there ! My God, the man is a master con artist and he fleeced you, and you still won't give up that dream he sold you. You are all in for such a let down in the coming months, when he really gets into full swing.
You have been sold one of the biggest bills of goods in history by a master showman and con artist.
