Not only does Wall Street know which side of its bread is buttered, it is apparently trying to make sure that its agenda doesn’t become toast should the “wrong” candidate (i.e., one who has not been bought and paid for by vested interests) manage to get elected President of the United States.
So, Wall Street donations are escalating, and, says one watchdog group reported by Reuters,”big business is shoveling more money than ever into U.S. political campaigns.”
Gee. Wonder why that might be??? Let’s look more closely.
Seems the real estate industry ,insurers and the healthcare industry are among the top spenders this campaign.
Could the fact that there is a mortgage crisis devastating the real estate industry because of its own bad loans, and a healthcare mess with more and more going without health insurance,have anything to do with the free flow of money?
Nah!?
The report, from the Center for Responsive Politics, shows that those Wall Street bigwigs didn’t become bigwigs for nothing. Because they think Hillary just might get elected, the Wall Street big shots are giving more to the Democratic party than to the GOP. In fact, 57 percent of the money coming from big donors is headed in the direction of the Democratic party.
Of course, should polls begin to show that a Republican candidate is likely to get elected, just watch how fast the spending pattern will shift.
