quote [ Many Americans can’t remember anything other than an economy with skyrocketing inequality, in which living standards for most Americans are stagnating and the rich are pulling away. It feels inevitable.
But it’s not. ] But yeah, you should elect someone on the take from Wall Street. It'll work out alright.

Hillary is not president. The election was last november. Remember? But I realize cons need a boogey man. The article is about a broken economy, and the thread was about money in politics, yet you, like I see in other forums, constantly need to compare everything to hillary, as though it's relevant. But if you like, lets go ahead and make this a partisan discussion, shall we? Levels of corruption :
Over the last 53 years Republicans have had the Presidency for 28 years, the Democrats for 25 years.
The facts are that in their 25yrs in office, Democrats had a total of three executive branch officials indicted with one conviction and one prison sentence.
That's ONE executive branch official convicted of a crime in two and a half DECADES of Democrat leadership.
In the 28yrs that Republicans have held office over the last 53yrs they have had a total of:
120 criminal indictments of executive branch officials.
89 criminal convictions and
34 prison sentences handed down.
That's more prison sentences than years in office since 1968 for Republicans!
If you want to count articles of impeachment as indictments (they aren't really but we can count them as an action), both sides get one more. However, Clinton wasn't found guilty while Nixon resigned and was pardoned by Ford. so those only serve to make Republicans look even worse.
Republicans have clearly shown themselves to be many times more corrupt than Democrats.
Obama - 8yrs in office. zero criminal indictments, zero convictions and zero prison sentences. so the next time somebody describes the Obama administration as "scandal free" they aren't speaking wishfully, they're simply telling the truth.
Bush, George W. - 8yrs in office. 16 criminal indictments. 16 convictions. 9 prison sentences.
Clinton - 8yrs in office. 2 criminal indictments. one conviction. one prison sentence. that's right nearly 8yrs of investigations. Almost $100 million spent and 30yrs of claiming them the most corrupt ever and there was exactly one person convicted of a crime.
Bush, George H. W. - 4yrs in office. one indictment. one conviction. one prison sentence.
Reagan - 8yrs in office. 26 criminal indictments. 16 convictions. 8 prison sentences.
Carter - 4yrs in office. one indictment. zero convictions and zero prison sentences.
Ford - 2 1/2 yrs in office. one indictment and one conviction. one prison sentence.
Nixon - 6yrs in office. 76 criminal indictments. 55 convictions. 15 prison sentences.
Johnson - 5yrs in office. zero indictments. zero convictions. zero prison sentences.
