The top ten contributors have nothing to do with the type of people she believes need her help or that she gives help too. It only means that those people are in the same mindset as she when it comes to helping the poor!
Keith-
Much as I am a big fan of yours, seemingly innocuous posts (like this one) do not make a lot of sense.
Why is acceptance of "large" amounts of money from major corporations an indication that Hillary isn't "for the poor"?
"The poor" have little advocacy since they can't, collectively, pony up the dough required to finance political campaigns. Arguably, they also don't have a "collective voice" since social networking tools, such as the Internet, aren't widely available to "the poor".
Be careful about throwing stones at people who accept money from large corporations; you may need a little bling to finance your campaign for Mayor of Reading, should you elect to run. Would you turn down $10k from my company's PAC (with the unwritten, though implicit expectation that someday, if we need a favor, you're our man on the inside)? Think about this carefully; I believe the Mayoral job is yours for the taking, with the proper financial backing.
