The Clintons and the Demise of Working Class Families

After watching "The 80s" on CNN last night, (which by the way is pretty much how I remember it). I began thinking how much Bill and Hillary have "Carried On" and even perpetuated Reagan's legacy of "Deregulation" and "Foreign Trade" which has ravaged the working class.


Deregulation - which allowed the likes of Rupert Murdoch to RAID the pension funds of Working Class Families so he could finance his Corporate Take-Overs and Raiding of Companies that once provided Good Paying Working Class Jobs

Foreign Trade Deals - which serves as the "Big Pay Off" for all the Corporate Raiding as seen by Team Romney's Bain Capitol. Giving Corporate Raiders a place to ship jobs to so they could pad the salaries with obscene amounts of money - ALL at the expense of Working Class Families.

I certainly have to hand it to the Clintons - they are good at what they do.


All the time convincing Millions of Hard Working Americans they are actually on their side, all the while mingling and rubbing elbows with the "Wall St's Rich and Powerful Wealthy Elite" - truly just masterful.


But the "Proof is in the Pudding"

Just take a simple look at the CGI - Clinton Global Foundation. They like to claim it doesn't run as a normal foundation and most of their work is done in house. But as seen with the foundation's payoffs to Sid Blumenthal and Hillary's IT guy Bryan Pagliano, it is used primarily as a means to keep operatives on the payroll and political friends content. All the while claiming philanthropy - which as seen by what happened in Haiti - just a means to enrich even more cronies

Like I said - "Truly just Masterful"
