US elections: Clinton coins it

Right-wing US presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton earned $675,000 giving speeches for parasite speculators Goldman Sachs in 2013.

The establishment Democrat earned somewhere between $9.7 million and $12 million in speaking fees that year, much of it for banksters. Other selected highlights include:

  • Qualcomm (phones): $335,000
  • Cisco (IT): $325,000
  • eBay (online retail): $315,000
  • Deutsche Bank (bank): $260,000
  • GE (everything): $225,500

Clinton has ludicrously insisted she can’t be bought, saying: “Anybody who knows me who thinks they can influence me – name one thing they’ve influenced me on. Just name one thing.”

Her consistent support for Wall Street gamblers is reflected in big business donations to her campaign. Nearly 300 super-rich donors have given over $100,000 each. Meanwhile, self-described socialist candidate Bernie Sanders receives an average donation of $27.
