Hillary’s
Gotten $48.5 Million from Wall Street …Guess How Much Trump’s Gotten?
What’s more surprising than Hillary
posturing herself as “anti-Wall Street” is that people actually believe her. Of
course, that’s not surprising either. Her supporters will believe anything. Or,
they just won’t care.
Hillary Clinton has the backing of
hedge fund owners and employees. So far, she’s received about $48.5 million in financial support from
them. According
to the Wall Street Journal, “The
top five contributors to pro-Clinton groups are employees or owners of private
investment funds.”
That’s a lot of support coming from
a group of people that Hillary claims to hate. The entire time she’s been
campaigning, she’s railed against hedge fund managers and how unfair it is that
they make so much money, but pay less in taxes than kindergarten teachers or
bus drivers. “Hillary Clinton has the toughest plan to reform Wall Street,
clean up the abuses…and close the carried-interest [tax] loophole that benefits
hedge funds,” a Hillary campaign spokesman said.
Ironically, her own son-in-law –
seen standing next to Bill Clinton at the DNC during Hillary’s speech – is a
hedge fund manager. He and the other founders of the hedge fund are also former
Goldman Sachs employees.
Speaking of Goldman Sachs, Fox
News pointed out that “in recent years [Hillary] has
received $21 million in speaking fees from Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street
firms.”
Wall Street doesn’t like Donald
Trump, mainly because they view him as volatile and unpredictable – two things
they also despise about the stock market. If only they could accurately predict
what was going to happen, they could make untold amounts of money in no time.
They like predictability. And my guess is that they’re not worried that Hillary
will change the laws all that much or remove any “loopholes.” They know she’s
not going to follow up on those promises. They’ve got her right where they
want her. Deep in their pocket.
