It’s time for a reality check on who is buying our elections. According to opensecrets.org<\/a>, some of Hillary Clinton’s top contributors to her campaign include Emily’s List<\/a> (a pro-abortion group), a few major Wall Street<\/a> investment firms, the US Government<\/a> and US State Department<\/a> (how is that legal?), and Time Warner<\/a>, a major player in cable television<\/a> and media. Donation amounts from major donors ranged from over $600,000 to about $250,000. The Donald Trump campaign donations<\/a> paint a very different picture. According to opensecrets.org<\/a>, Donald Trump’s<\/a> top donations came from a couple of financial institutions and various companies I have never heard of. The top donation given was $150,000 and the smallest donation listed in the major donation list was about $10,000. Big money and big investments are supporting Hillary. Why? She will continue the status quo where big money people continue to make big money and non-elites continue to make less. And of course, these numbers do not include any money taken from the Clinton Foundation<\/a> used for travel expenses and other things. The money that does not have to be spent on travel expenses (because the Clinton Foundation can legally fund travel expenses of the Clintons) can be used for attack ads targeting Donald Trump. The 2016 election<\/a> will determine whether or not elections can be bought in America.<\/p>\n
