A prominent Liberal Democrat recently described just who the "Establishment" is.
They are:
Major corporations and their top execs.
Washington lobbyists
Trade Assns, (unions)
Big Wall st. banks & top people.
Traders
Hedge Fund & private Equity mgrs.
Billionaires.
Political leaders of both parties.
Political operatives
Fundraisers.
And all those supporting the above list.
The common thread among them all seems to be MONEY.
