Wall Street Has Already Bought the 2016 Election



Wall Street is opening up their checkbooks and handing out money to politicians at an alarming rate – could this be the end of all financial regulations as we know it? And has the 2016 election already been decided because of it? Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this with attorney Michael Burg.

Heck, they even paid for Carter and that was so the Ford Repukes could facilitate their hijinks in the ME to pave the way for Saint Ronald. After that, it's been a pay-to-play ever since. Even with the losers, many of their buddies make out like bandits during election season.

Not to trivialize your post, friend. I don't want to minimize your contribution; it's a good one.

One of the two will say what you want to hear so vote for them.
But don't expect anything to change except the story.
