Clinton Campaign Email Highlights Study Finding US Dominated by 'Economic Elites' -Bakari Williams

Summary: The posted article is about the recent phenomena of more of presidential candidate Clinton's e-mails being leaked onto wikileaks. Although the campaign staff of Clinton has not confirmed that all of the information leaked was authentic, it still raised many questions having to do with a recent study on economic elites in politics. In the study, the results show that the people higher up on the social ladder tend to also have much more influence over political ideas; as many people agree with James Sandler when he states his opinion that "I guess it takes a study to point out the obvious." This problem was a big part of former candidate Sanders' campaign saying that one of the biggest problems in this country is the growing level of wealth and income inequality.

Synthesis: This problem closely relates to the beliefs of first political parties of America. The Anti-federalists in particular had about the same ideals of Sandler and others saying that the cuurent laws and regulations in place are to put people already in power in positions of more power. The Federalists on the other hand, believed that the guidelines set in place were sufficient enough to run an effective government and now it seems that the same conflict in a way exists many years later.

  1. That's too true, America's middle class is the biggest it's ever been. With the he rich being way above the rest and the poor being homeless.
