It Is All a Farce.

The Hypocrisy of Bill Clinton's New Book 'Giving'

"The misery sweeping across the American landscape may have begun with Ronald Reagan, but it was accelerated and codified by Bill Clinton. He sold out the poor and the working class.  And Clinton did it deliberately to feed the pathological hunger he and his wife have for political power.  It was the Clintons who led the Democratic Party to the corporate watering trough.

The Clintons argued that the party had to ditch labor unions, no longer a source of votes or power, as a political ally. Workers would vote Democratic anyway. They had no choice. It was better, the Clintons argued, to take corporate money and use government to service the needs of the corporations.  By the 1990s, the Democratic Party, under Clinton’s leadership, had virtual fund-raising parity with the Republicans.  In political terms, it was a success.  In moral terms, it was a betrayal."
