The More Money They Make, The More I Suspect
Yesterday here on the Irregular Diaries, a new writer named Rusty celebrated the fact that Senator Hillary Clinton has been able to gather huge amounts of money to spend on her campaign. I can’t share in that celebration.
The reason: The more money a candidate makes, the more suspicious I get. I know very well that most of the money that presidential candidates bring comes from the rich and powerful. So, the bigger the stash of campaign donations a presidential candidate makes, the more indebted that candidate is to the rich and powerful. Thus, the more money a candidate raises, the more I doubt that the candidate will make a good president.
Besides, what does Hillary Clinton actually stand for? Does anyone know? It seems to me that Hillary Clinton represents the rich and powerful, and is motivated only by her own ambition. I just don’t trust her.
