What are elites?

Question

What are elites?

Answer 1

The elite are the people you don't hear about who run the country behind closed doors. You may also hear about these people and they may be well known public figures.  For the most part, there names are not broadcasted

Those who are in the upper 1% of the income earners are the elite.  They have money, and they have political power.  They are able to influence politics, whether by campaign donations or funding special interest groups (lobbyists).

Answer 2

Assuming that there are Super rich elites (Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Warburgs, Carnegies, Mellons) who want to control the country, what good what it be to only have agents on ONE side of the aisle?? You would HAVE to have people in your control on BOTH sides of the aisle. The answers are right in front of you: just look at history. Hillary worked on Nelson Rockefeller's campaign in the 70's. Why do you think she chose New York as her "adopted" state to run for the Senate? Wouldn't Illinois (her home for many early years) or AR (her husbands gubernatorial state) have been more sensible? This is Rockefeller's home and she is their pet. People need to wake up!

Bill got us NAFTA for God's sake people!

Lets discuss instead the obvious heir apparent to the throne, as dictated by the powers that be.

(I love how MSNBC declared New York for Hillary only 30 SECONDS AFTER THE POLLS CLOSED!)

I happen to think that dynasties in the executive is TOTALLY UNDEMOCRATIC. But that is just me.

1980-1988 BUSH ruled while Reagan slept (evidence? Irangate, Iran/Contra, October Surprise Hostage Crisis---all massive covert scandals that only an EX CIA director (1976) would know how to orchestrate)

1988-1992 BUSH I in the White House (Gulf War 1)

1992-2000 Clinton in the White House(WTC Bombing 1, Waco, Oklahoma City, USS Cole, Numerous Iraq bombings, Somalia, Kosovo, Ecehlon surveillance against US citizens)

2000-2008 BUSH II in the White House and the international nightmare he gave to all (too many to mention)

2008-2016 CLINTON II?

FUTURE: JEB BUSH? THE BUSH TWINS? CHELSEA???

Are you kidding me with this? Potentially 36 unchecked years of TWO FAMILIES RULING THE EXECUTIVE?

Are we in 17th century England or what people? THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!!
