A revealing and detailed audit of “Clinton Inc.,” which has raised more than $1 Billion from U.S. firms and executives since Bill and Hillary Clinton left the White House in 2001, shows that Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs has been the biggest contributor at nearly $5 million -- and even office space.
The analysis by the Wall Street Journal suggested that the firm, which turned on President Obama in his reelection campaign for targeting financial industries, is likely to be a major donor to Hillary Clinton's likely 2016 campaign, raising issues of crony capitalism and the type of paybacks and favoritism populists looking for a Clinton alternative are worried about.
The Journal teamed with the Center for Responsive Politics to determine the size of the Clinton bank vault based on public documents and disclosure forms
They found that financial industries have been the top donor to the Clintons, either directly to their foundation, offering fat speech fees and through contributions from Wall Street executives.
And of those, Goldman Sachs was king.

Just about every politician is controlled by big business or a special interest. Rare do you find a Mitt Romney type who is truly in control of himself. Too bad the American public has slumped so low in the gutter that they voted for skanky ghetto trash.
