I was looking at Hillary's largest contributors at Open Secrets. This is a good resource for Freepers interested in doing their own research on candidate funding.
Information for Hillary is broken up by her Senate races, which can be found here and her Presidential race, which can be found here.
Let's take a little deeper look at Hillary's contributor's in her last successful race, the 2006 Senate run.
| Contributor | Total |
| Citigroup Inc | $236,610 |
| Goldman Sachs | $205,670 |
| MetLife Inc | $156,060 |
| Time Warner | $146,390 |
| Corning Inc | $135,750 |
| Morgan Stanley | $123,560 |
| JPMorgan Chase & Co | $122,715 |
| Skadden, Arps et al | $112,530 |
| Credit Suisse Group | $111,850 |
| Ernst & Young | $98,250 |
| Cablevision Systems | $96,150 |
| New York Life Insurance | $95,200 |
| International Profit Assoc | $90,400 |
| Sullivan & Cromwell | $84,350 |
| News Corp | $77,325 |
| Kirkland & Ellis | $75,850 |
| Lehman Brothers | $72,160 |
| National Amusements Inc | $71,000 |
| Akin, Gump et al | $70,350 |
| Patton Boggs LLP | $64,388 |
Overall we see Hillary raised an amazing $51 Million to her opponents $5 million.
Looking at the Summary tab for the race shows us what outsides organizations spent money on the race. Hillary dramatically dominated this category. There were only a few Conservative leaning groups cotributing, the largest of them the Life and Liberty PAC contribued about $600. In contrast here are four of the big labor supporters and their expenditures on Hillary's 2006 campaign.
| American Federation of Teachers 401C | $1,981,247 |
| American Federation of Teachers | $1,812,791 |
| American Fedn of St/Cnty/Munic Employees PAC | $2,334,997 |
| American Fedn of St/Cnty/Munic Employees | $9,256,392 |
In 2008 the added category of "Independent Expenditures" was created. Under current law an individual run adds supporting a candidate, if they am not coordinating with them the official campaign. There are not a lot of people falling into this category, but one that did bears a legendary name: Lynn Forester De Rothschild. in 2008, she contributed $32,210 to supporting Hillary.
Hillary likes to pretend she has something in common with the middle class, but her campaigns have been financed almost exclusively by the the very-rich, the super-rich, and the banking-elite. Captive public employee union kickbacks have also been a significant source of funds.
Here are some details from the Wikipedia page on Lady de Rothschild:
Lynn Forester, Lady de Rothschild (born Lynn Forester; July 2, 1954) is the chief executive officer of E.L. Rothschild, a holding company she owns with her third husband, Sir Evelyn Robert de Rothschild, a member of the Rothschild family.[1] The company manages investments in The Economist Group, owner of The Economist magazine, Congressional Quarterly and the Economist Intelligence Unit, Bronfman E.L. Rothschild LP, a leading independent wealth management firm in the United States, as well as real estate, agricultural and food interests.[2] By virtue of her marriage to a knight, she is known socially as Lady de Rothschild.Lynn Forester de Rothschild was introduced to Sir Evelyn de Rothschild by Henry Kissinger at the 1998 Bilderberg Group conference in Scotland,[8] and they married on November 30, 2000 in London, England, after Rothschild (almost 23 years older than Forester) had left his wife and three children.[1] She is his third wife.[1] On the announcement of the marriage, the de Rothschild couple were invited to spend their honeymoon at the White House.[9] The couple splits their time between New York and London. In response to a reporter's question about her wealth, Forester said, “Is that said about me? I hope not. I mean, I’m just who I am. I don’t think being rich is that important. I think not being boring is really important.”
Yep, just another average American who loves Hillary's go get-em attitude and plucky style.
Do the DNC really think they can rerun the Romney campaign with Hillary in the role of Obama? Hillary *IS* the choice of one-percenters everywhere.
They always own both “sides”.
Might want to keep these numbers handy
2006 and 2008 were both a long time ago .... waaayyy before Benghazi et al
Yet she states she is for the working class and big business and Wall street is giving money to republicans.
.
If they worship the Red Shield, why do they wear Blue ties?
.
If and or when the next American revolution begins, remember those who are against the patriotic Americans are working for the world’s ruling elite banksters of whom own most of our politicians in DC. Without question they own the Clintons but the Bushes are part of the ruling elite already.
” Is she in tight with the global oligarchs? “
You can’t get any tighter.

But, Hillary is “in it to win it” for the little people.

People whine about Ted’s Wife’s job at Goldman Sachs, but it is ntohign compatred to allt he ties Shrillary has....
It is like complaining about somone working the register at McDonalds having a strong connection to Big Agribusiness..
She’s the equivalent of a Regional Sales Manager, but I notice that almost every article names her as a Director instead. Rather biased? I’ve been a District Manager and no one ever confused me with a Director or Board Member, believe me.
Hillary's Biggest Contributors & her "Rothschild Connection"
Right.
Biggest contributors *we* know about...
Check out article, photo at # 6.
Thanks, hoosiermama.
If the Chicago Mob doesn’t run a candidate,
(and that’s looking more likely every day)
then Hillary is the candidate of the journ-0-lists.
In 2008 the journ-0-lists focused like a laser beam on the background of Joe the Plumber Wurzelbacher and the DNA of Palin’s Down Syndrome child.
I expect 2016 to look very similar.
Rothschilds? It’s the Jooz supporting her?
But, Hillary hates the “F’n Jew bas***ds” — a quote.
Is it support, or precautionary tribute?
If the latter, it is consistent with the motivation for many of the contributions to the Clinton Foundation.
The two biggest Obama donators were Jews and I doubt it will be any different for Shrillary.
Again, the question is, happily supporting donor, or prudent supplier of baksheesh?
Besides, two people doesn’t a trend make.
Hmmmmm, this guy says between 60 and 80 percent of Democrat money is raised from Jews. That’s quite a trend.
