If Hillary actually turns into a populist, will her corporate contributors be able to sue her

[mhatrw]

for loss of expected future profits?

You know, the way corporations will be able to sue governments under the auspices of the TPP?

1. If anyone is gullible enough to believe that kind of rhetoric

I have a bridge in Brooklyn and some beachfront property in Arizona to sell them - and cheap! Such a deal!

2. They're not worried. They know her well & understand the populist stuff is just being mouthed to

Get elected. She'll swing reliably right if she gets elected.

4. We'll never know n/t

5. Actually, Hillary plans to "sue" BIG BUSINESS.

Wall Street must work for Main Street.

Hillary would also hold both corporations and individuals on Wall Street accountable by:

* Prosecuting individuals when they break the law.
* Hillary would extend the statute of limitations for prosecuting major financial frauds, enhance whistleblower rewards, and provide the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission more resources to prosecute wrongdoing.
* Holding executives accountable when they are responsible for their subordinates’ misconduct.
* Hillary believes that when corporations pay large fines to the government for violating the law, those fines should cut into the bonuses of the executives who were responsible for or should have caught the problem.
* And when egregious misconduct happens on an executive’s watch, that executive should lose his or her job.
* Holding corporations accountable when they break the law. As she enhances individual accountability, Hillary will make sure that corporations don’t treat penalties for breaking the law as merely a cost of doing business, so that we can put an end to the patterns of corporate wrongdoing that we see too often today.

6. Bwahahahahaha!

Hillary is never going to turn into a populist........she may spout some populist rhetoric, but only the very very gullible would believe her.

But - great question - after all, her investors would be quite upset if they lost expected profits.
Not to worry, investors, um, contributors - if Hillary is president, she will happily implement the TPP and TPIP and whatever other corporate goodies are sliding greasily towards us!
