After the Pennsylvania primary, the MSM slobbered over Clinton raking in $10 million in a 24-hour period. Or was it $8 million? $9.2 million?
Whichever. Point being, the little people (that's you and me) dug into our meager wallets and found $10, $50, however much and gave to Hillary.
But for some reason, the politicians only pander to us during election season. The rest of the time, there are bigger fish to honor and obey while sitting on whichever throne the politico may hold.
Look at Goldman Sachs - a premier Wall Street investment bank. The company has given hundreds of thousands of bucks to all three presidential contenders.
I like the way they think - no matter who wins, they win. And that's great when the person sitting in the Oval Office owes you a few favors, and you can continue to give them and their political buddies wads of cash.
But we already gave our last ten-spot to McCain/Obama/Clinton. What do we get when the shouting's over?

I'm guessing Goldman-Sachs gave far more to the Democrats. Huge investment banks donate heavily through their foundation arms to pro-big government candidates because it helps them wipe out their smaller competitors through over regulation. Jon Corzine is former CEO.
