*Hillary Clinton is perhaps the most corrupt Secretary of State in American history<\/strong>. The Clinton Foundation was getting massive windfalls from foreign governments and entities at the same time that Hillary was doing favors for them.<\/p>\n

* For Hillary Clinton to base her presidential campaign on “toppling the 1%” is like her husband campaigning in favor of sexual abstinence. Hillary is apparently basing her presidential hopes on the unlimited gullibility of American voters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

* The real 1% issue is how the Federal Reserve has rigged the economic game to crucify the middle class with zero interest rates. Folks who relied on their savings have been devastated at the same time the Federal Reserve artificially inflates stock values to benefit the richest Americans.<\/p>\n

* Instead of fixing this injustice, Hillary wants politicians to have even more power to dictate who gets what<\/strong>. But Hillary’s entire career proves that politicians cannot be trusted with arbitrary power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
