No. The really, really, really rich, e.g. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and Ted Turner, have become socialists because starting out on daddy's trust account and having it so easy has made them feel guilty and turned them into socialists. Now they want to 'give back to the community', using Joe sixpacks hard earned money, and buy our love.
FWIW, some thirty years ago the chairman of GS stuck his foot in it when he told employees to not worry about who became President because GS gave to both parties.
Yes he was. Also, remember that it was Rubin as Sec of Treasury who got Pres Slick Willy to use BILLIONS of US Taxpayer dollars to bailout Mexico after they defaulted on their debt and the Peso went in the hole —even after Congress voted down a bailout. And guess who was the investment firm that held the largest portion of Mexico’s debt? That’s right —Goldman Sachs.
Clinton’s bailout of Mexico was really a bailout of Goldman Sachs.
She must have pictures of him with a goat......
It’s been my contention that Rubin schmoozed the economy by allowing and concocting shady trading to go on with the gov. blessing to give clinton the economic legacy he wanted.
Lloydie, maybe if you used your brain, you'd realize there's a reason so few U.S. senators (in modern times) have reached the highest office.
Sounds to me that your in the buisiness of quid pro quo. So what is it you, your firm are/is getting out of the deal in backing the Hildabeast socialist blowhard?
I used to shut up a lot of Bill Clintoon supporters with that question. I’d tell them that I was ready to be convinced, but didn’t have time to hear a whole litany of his accomplishments, so we should limit the discussion to just his three biggest contributions. Not a single person ever got past number one. The truth is that he didn’t do a single thing except establish a new standard for buffoonery.
“FWIW, some thirty years ago the chairman of GS stuck his foot in it when he told employees to not worry about who became President because GS gave to both parties.”
I expect that they still do that — it’s the smart thing to do. But, they’re preference is for leftists in reflection of the political leanings of the executive office. I can’t remember when a conservative last made it to the top floor at Goldman.
Horney Bastid!
Democrats are about keeping the rich rich, and the poor poor.
If very rich people supported Republicans then there would be lots of new rich people and tons of competition for the currently rich.
Democrats are for the marginal improvement of the poor and fixing it so no more people can get rich. Those already filthy rich can afford the high taxes.. (after loopholes). Those who are not already rich, can't get enough assets to become rich.
So the Democratic party is a coalition of those that are rich and those that see themselves as poor. Members of the middle class that are trying to get rich are all Republicans.
Republicans are for the rich.. at least those that want to get rich. Democrats are for the poor ... especially those that want to say poor.
Another loser....
Is this the one who had oil over $100 this year? Sounds like he might have another prognostication (an eating disorder, see your dentist), maybe as good as that one.
Another multi-billionaire left-wing fascist Democrat..............
Am curious to know what kind of person of true accomplishments would EVER prostrate themselves before one who has achieved nothing on his/her own.
She plays on their guilt (about their success) like her husband plays on interns.
Wonder how she twisted his you know whats for his endorsement?
Sorry to sound so crass; but you know Hillary’s reputation.
