HILLARY TWEAKS HER GOLDEN GOOSE
May 6, 2008 -- 'Why don't we hold these Wall Street money-brokers responsible for their role in this recession?" So asked Sen. Hillary Clinton in Indiana over the weekend, sneeringly.
Pretty harsh words.
Could she be referring to the "money-brokers" who are directly responsible for nearly a third of all wages earned in New York City in any given year?
Or the folks who generate more than 20 percent of Albany's tax revenue?
On a more personal level, was Sen. Clinton talking about her friends at Goldman Sachs - you know, the ones who have kicked $445,350 into her campaign kitty so far this election cycle?
Or the combined personal contributions from Citigroup ($406,752), Morgan Stanley ($482,845) and Lehman Brothers ($269,560) - among many others?
Those money-brokers?
How about this: If money "brokered" on Wall Street so profoundly offends the senator, why doesn't she just give it all back?
Albany and City Hall don't have that luxury. Things are tough, and likely to get much worse - and maybe even worse than that if Sen. Clinton keeps it up with the condescending rhetoric.
She should be ashamed
