Clintons Profit From Big Oil, Wal-Mart, And Military Industrial Complex
Bill and Hillary Clinton liquidated their blind trust in an effort to head off accusations of hypocrisy and criticism from their anti-capitalist liberal base. The trust, which was reported to be valued at between $5 million and $25 million (I bet the true value is on the high end), contained holdings in stocks of Big Oil, Wal-Mart, pharmaceuticals, and military contractors. All of these companies have been demonized by the Democratic Party, some by Hillary Clinton herself.
The real question is: will the Clintons disgorge themselves of all the profits they made from these investments? Hillary Clinton has publicly stated that she wants to confiscate the profits of Big Oil. Unless she gives away all those ill-gotten gains, she is a true hypocrite.
The Clintons have profited from high oil prices, high healthcare costs, the Iraq War, and low employee wages and benefits at Wal-Mart. They have profited from everything they claim to be against. There is no other honest thing for the Clintons to do but deny themselves the profits they made from these investments.
Perhaps the Clintons can give their millions in profit from these holdings to the poor they pretend to care so much about. Nah, they’ll never do that! These elitist DFLers like to live lives of wealth and luxury that they want to deny the rest of us the opportunity to enjoy.
The Clintons are among the dirtiest frauds and liars the world has ever known. How anybody can consider voting for this fraud Hillary Clinton is beyond me.

This woman, Hillary Clinton, sounds like a bunch of phony crap when she speaks. She spews the worst drivel and lies that I have ever heard from a politician. All she cares about is herself and her ambitions. “Right Wing Conspiracy” my ass, she’ll do anything, but anything, to get the democratic nomination and to become President She and her husband are monsters, a danger to the United States and amoral to the max. She could care less about children, 9/11, the troops, education, health care ad infinitum. I don’t know how the public could be so gullible to believe in her phony rhetoric. Tell me, what has she done for New York? Who cares about her education, she lacks any kind of moral responsibility for anyone. Bill lies, she lies, at least Bill has charm, albeit, behind a less than up standing agenda. These phonies need to go.
