Hillary, the Billionaires’ Candidate

With Bernie Sanders and his self-proclaimed socialist supporters resoundingly defeated, Hillary Clinton is doing everything she can to let her wealthy Wall Street donors know that under her presidency it will be business as usual.

Facing plummeting poll numbers among white working-class voters, Clinton is so desperate to shore up the support of white white-collar voters that former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg will endorse her publicly in a prime-time speech at the Democratic National Convention.

The former party of Big Labor is restructuring itself as the party of Big Business.

Bloomberg, whose main legacy in New York is unleashing the full force of property developers on low-income neighborhoods and turning the city into a playground for the rich, will advocate for Clinton “from the perspective of a business leader,” said Howard Wolfson, one of Bloomberg’s senior advisers.

Bloomberg has expressed particular displeasure at Trump’s “attacking and promising to deport millions of Mexicans … and threatening China and Japan with a trade war,” as he wrote in March. “These moves would divide us at home and compromise our moral leadership around the world.”

Of course those moves would also be very bad for the Wall Street machine, which relies on cheap labor and free trade deals to thrive. Indeed, Bloomberg’s very public endorsement belies Clinton’s claimed concerns about income inequality and the state of middle America.

Bloomberg’s endorsement comes only days after the announcement of Clinton’s running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine — another signal to the globalist elite that Clinton will protect their continued economic exploitation of sovereign nations.

Kaine has been an ardent support free trade in general, the Trans-Pacific Partnership specifically, and presidential fast-track authority. He once said that opponents of free trade have a “loser’s mentality.” He has also — very uncharacteristically for a Democrat — advocated for some measure of Wall Street deregulation. This is probably why Kaine has received his third-highest portion of donations from those involved in “securities and investment,” according to OpenSecrets.

A list of some of Clinton’s other big business endorsements, some of whom are former lifelong Republicans, only confirms that the Democratic Party — former claimant to the mantle of labor and economic opportunity champion for all — is the party the globalists believe they can trust to continue feeding the machine.

Two such Republican supporters of Clinton include Dan Akerson, former CEO of General Motors, and Jim Cicconi, an executive VP at AT&T and former White House staffer under Reagan and Bush. “It’s vital to put our country’s well-being ahead of party,” Cicconi said of his endorsement of Clinton.

But the suggestion that Clinton would put the well-being or interests of anything other than her own personal advancement and gain is laughable, as too is the notion that either political party has had any interest in putting the country’s well-being ahead of its own.

In March, the Economist Intelligence Unit, the risk analysis business of the slavishly pro free-trade Economist Group — the media company which publishes The Economist magazine — listed Trump as one of its top ten global risks. “He has been exceptionally hostile towards free trade, including notably NAFTA, and has repeatedly labelled China as a ‘currency manipulator,'” the EIU said.

Seeing the opportunity to court multinational big businesses wary of Trump’s inherent protectionist outlook, Clinton is eager to advertise her business-friendly policies. Promised a continued flow of cheap labor and America’s continued participation in building a one-world economy, the global fat cats are purring at the prospect of a Clinton presidency.

Thanks to the ever-opportunistic Clinton, the former Party of Big Labor is restructuring itself as the Party of Big Business.
