The Rich behind Hillary Clinton

Democrats in the United States who supported socialist Senator Bernie
Sanders like those who currently support Hillary Clinton, accuse the Republican party of being “the party of the rich.”

They accuse Republican candidate Donald Trump of being the symbol of the “elite” because he is a famous billionaire but you have to analyze things before you judge. You have to analyze who is the candidate that really represents what Democrats like to call the “elite”.

Hillary Clinton, the current Democratic Party’s nominee for President of the United States, is the candidate that has received the most donations from billionaires and corporations, yeah, the “elite”.

Here, I’ll mention some of those billionaires and corporations.

First of all we have the third richest man in the world, Warren Buffet. Buffet who is the Chief Executive Officer of the powerful conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway, has a personal fortune of $60.8 billion and has been supporting the Democratic Party for years, specially the Clintons for over 15 years.

Also we have the so controversial billionaire George Soros  who could be considered the star of the Democratic Party donors club. Soros is the Chairman of one of the largest and most profitable hedge fund firms in the world.

Yes, hedge funds, those that Bernie Sanders, who now supports Clinton, criticized and demonized.

Soros has a personal fortune of $24.9 billion, and according to official reports he has donated to Hillary more than $11.9 million in this election cycle only.

Not only that, besides being a very important donor, he had organized Super PACs that had raised millions for the Clinton campaign from 17 different billionaires.

Another powerful billionaire who has funded the Clinton machine is Haim Saban, and I consider this a very dangerous one. Saban whose personal fortune amounts to $2.9 billion, owns 20% of Univision, the largest Hispanic television network in the United States, a network that has been criticized in the past for being biased.

Saban has held a number of fundraising events for Clinton in Hollywood which explains why Hollywood is characterized by being a propaganda machine for Democrats.

We also shouldn’t forget the moment when Saban said in an interview about civil liberties: “I’d rather be not free and alive”. 

Saban practically insinuated that “security” was more important than freedom itself.

Speaking of Hollywood and celebrities, Hillary has another powerful ally, and that ally is famous billionaire and former TV host Oprah Winfrey.

Oprah with a personal fortune amounting to $3.1 billion was the host of the highest rated  television show in the United States which has also been criticized for being biased.

Oprah’s endorsement of Hillary definitely gives a lot of strength to the Clinton machine specially when many in America consider her the most influential woman in the world.

Another powerful Wall Street billionaire who has invested its resources to return Hillary to the White House, this time as President, is another important hedge fund manager, James Harris Simons. Simons’s fortune amounts to $16.5 billion and has also been involved in a number of controversies specially related to tax evasion.

Another powerful billionaire who has been behind the Clinton machine during this election cycle is the former mayor of New York City and owner of the powerful media company Bloomberg L.P., Michael Bloomberg. Bloomberg’s fortune amounts to $42.7 billion making him according to Forbes, the 8th richest person in the world.

But besides powerful individual donors, there are also corporations especially powerful Wall Street banks.

The Clintons have received political donations from big banks since former President Bill Clinton lived in the White House in the 90s.

All of this without counting the large amounts of money that big banks like Goldman Sachs have paid them in the past for speeches that she has refused to reveal to the public.

Since former President Bill Clinton left the White House in 2001, the Clintons have been paid over $120 million in speeches for the international financial elite.

When it comes to donations, Clinton definitely have the advantage over Trump. While Clinton has raised over $21.1 million in PACs, Trump has only managed to raise $1.02 million.

According to Fortune, 6% of the donations that Clinton has received come from billionaires giving a total of more than $373.3 million. While only 0.006% of donations that Trump has received come from billionaires.

Another curiosity denoting demagoguery coming from Democrats is the constant criticism to the CEOs. Democrats constantly accuse Republicans of supporting the CEOs of the largest corporations in the country by refusing to increase the federal minimum wage, arguing that CEOs get paid too much for their work.

The interesting thing about all of this is that none of the 100 largest corporations’ CEOs in the country have donated a dime to Donald Trump.

Of the 100 largest corporations’ CEOs, none has donated a dollar to Trump but 11 of them have donated to Hillary Clinton.

Even according to an investigation by the Journal, Clinton has twice received donations from corporate executives in this election cycle of 2016 than President Barack Obama during his re-election campaign in 2012.

There is no doubt that all these facts destroy the myth that the Democratic Party and its candidate Hillary Clinton represent the middle class and those in need.

If there are people who believe in the so called “establishment” or the “system” or the “elite” well you should already have an idea of who this “elite” wants to win the presidential election on November 8 and I don’t think is Donald Trump who they want.

Clinton’s supporters and Trump haters who read this article will say that I am a “right-wing Republican” or even a”fascist” for what I have written here but the reality is that you don’t need to be a Trump supporter to figure out that Hillary Clinton is not what she claims to be.
