She's the head; the plutocracy and corporate interests form the stick.

Working people are the target.

as far as Hillary is concerned is how she vaulted into the Senate in New York with no prior history in elected office. NY is dominated by Wall Street and big banks. It says a lot about who backed Bill and how she inherited his network.

That isn't to say that she's owned by Wall Street any more than certain Republicans have been by oil and defense or many other politicians have been by political machines. She's smart and has a lot of friends with a broad world view who think critically. But it's a good bet she isn't going to get really tough on financial sector regulation.
