I happily stand against the money drenched establishment

I don't have any illusions about it. I refuse to make excuses for it. I understand how pervasive and dangerous it. I refuse to blindfold myself to the fact that it's a bipartisan problem.

part of the problem, NOT part of the solution. Either you see that or you do not.
because the Clintons are excellent representatives of the status quo, if you're happy the
way things are and the way things are going.

Is "getting people angry" who otherwise would not be angry? No wonder you are for Hillary.

That is why Bernie is drawing much bigger crowds than Hillary. And this aristocratic disdain for people will make her lose in the long run.

You can't "get people angry" with a Presidential campaign. It is proof of your campaign's contempt for democracy to think otherwise.

Actually hit a bench that Mick Jagger and Ron Wood happened to be sitting on at that moment.

You do not treat it by making access the the substance easier.
Just like any other addiction, those afflicted will sacrifice their very humanity to feed their sickness.

NO one is saying that anyone with a few million dollars is E-V-I-L ... Art made his money
honestly creating beauty and happiness for millions of people.

If you want to see real evil, check out this BBC clip, of one of Hillary's buddies at
Goldman Sachs.
