How does the wealth accumulation of Hillary Clinton (and her husband) and Donald Trump help us understand this election in the US?<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump is a businessman. \u00a0It is unclear how much he is worth. \u00a0He can always argue that was wealth he accumulated as a businessman was done in a businesslike fashion. \u00a0He is a political outsider, and this is why he causes the entrenched system so many problems.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Clinton and her husband have accumulated around $250,000,000 since Mr. Clinton left office. \u00a0No other post-president in the history of the United States has accumulated this amount of wealth. \u00a0This accumulation has occurred on the back of the Presidency. \u00a0This money is completely tied to politics. \u00a0For this reason reporter Glenn Greenwald writes that examining the source of the wealth and what is expected in return is relevant to Mrs. Clinton’s run for the office of President.<\/p>\n

Two small samples f favors given out are relevant. \u00a0Goldman Sachs’ head Llloyd Blankenfein, created a hedge fund for Mrs. Clinton’s son-in-law and supplied him with clients. \u00a0The son-in-law bet foolishly on Greek debt and lost a great deal of money. \u00a0Goldman Sachs does not appear to care, because they have an inside track to the woman who would be America’s next President.<\/p>\n

Trump gave $5000 to Mrs. Clinton when she was an aspiring Senator from New York. \u00a0When asked why, he said he wanted her to come with her husband to his wedding. \u00a0DId he get what he wanted? \u00a0Yes. \u00a0The Clintons came to the wedding.<\/p>\n
