they also learned how to bypass the middleman and became their own crony Originally Posted by nevergaveitathoughtWhat politician isn't a crony capitalist? You don't think Trump isn't? How else do they get into office? Dah!!! I just think Clinton is the lesser of two evils. And, of course, I am a democrat. I would never vote GOP. I actually wanted Bernie Sanders for President, as did other fundamental democrats. He just did not have the "crony capitalist" support that Clinton did. There you have it. Elizabeth Warren is another choice of mine. Her beliefs are in line with Bernie Sanders. She has not endorsed Clinton because, quote:
Warren believes that, when it comes to economic policy, there is a Wall Street view and a Main Street view, and Democrats must choose sides. Her critics argue that this is simplistic and naïve, but she has buoyed many on the left who are critical of President Obama’s economic policies and advisers for being excessively influenced by Wall Street. Warren was especially unimpressed by the President’s first Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, who was appointed at the start of the financial crisis. “I was shocked that he picked the person who had just done the bailouts through the New York Fed,” she said. “I assumed that the President would want to carve a different path, and want to separate himself from the Republican-led bailout.” She added, “Tim Geithner came from the New York Fed, which, effectively, works for Wall Street.” (Geithner declined to respond on the record to Warren’s criticism of him.)
And I agree and as do many other working class Americans.
