[The following is the author’s opinion of how Bernard Sanders would speak to his supporters and Hillary Clinton would speak to her supporters if they both spoke the whole truth – with perpetual secrecy being assured.  The author does not suggest that these words and thoughts have actually been expressed by either Bernie or Hillary.]

I.  Bernard Sanders

[Philosophically-Rooted True Beliefs that Inform and Motivate]

Bernie’s simple reasoning might be as follows:

1. I am over 70 years old.
2. I acquired a real college education over 50 years ago.
3. I do not understand how I managed to acquire a real college education over 50 years ago and today hardly any student can acquire a real education with employable job skills anywhere.  In my era (1950’s through early 1960’s), had I gained admittance and passed my courses, I could have acquired a high-quality NYC Public College Education for hardly any cost at all.  Had I gained admission to an Elite university (Harvard, MIT, Stanford, etc.), I could have acquired an Elite university degree for $10,000 for the entire 4 year room-and-board experience.  Since I learned POLITICAL MORALITY in my youth, especially in and around the University of Chicago, preparing me for a career as a Social Justice Political Activist, I am certain that all Political Ideas Left-Wing are well-intentioned and therefore GOOD, and all who oppose those Left-Wing Good Ideas are part of the Evil Right-Wing Conspiracy.  I do not know How, but I am certain that the Right-Wing Conspiracy destroyed American Education (especially Higher Education).  [It could not possibly have been caused by the Social Justice Left-Wing Idealists, who simply require more taxpayer funding and Authority to impose the correct Social Protocols to make it work.]
4. I have been successful in elective politics from Vermont for decades.
5. I do not understand how economics and free markets really work or even IF they really work at all.
6. I do not understand how, in the last 25 years, so many super-rich billionaires have come into existence in the USA.  (Until 25 years ago, a millionaire was considered rich and rare.  Whether the mega-millionaires or even billionaires are from “Wall Street” or “Hedge Fund Connecticut”  or “Hollywood and Other Entertainment Industries” or “Silicon Valley or Other High Technology Concentrations” or mere celebrities of nothing (like Kardashians), it simply makes no sense and I don’t like it.)
7. I am convinced that Wall Street and the Financial Industry are ‘rigged’
8. The Democratic Party Presidential nominating process is also ‘rigged’ for Hillary Clinton’s advantage.
9. Conclusion:  If Hillary Clinton’s 6-minute Goldman Sachs speech had been made public, I would have been the Democrat Party nominee.

Editor’s Note:  If Bernie Sanders had not so publicly (and with perfect Political Correctness) questioned the Content of Hillary’s Goldman Sachs speech, the MainStream Media (or Drive-By Media or Drive-By’s or Big Media or Dominant Media, etc. ad nauseam) would never have reported its existence at all – before so totally forgetting its prior importance, even with the existential reminders of serially released WikiLeaks.  See if you can find the CONTENT of the speech included in multitudinous New York Times critical reporting focused exclusively on the hypothetical EVIL MOTIVES of the Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin Right-Wing Conspiracy.  Don’t hold your breath!

II.   Super Wealth in America

1. The geographic concentrations of wealth may be described as:
   • Social Oligarchy of Wall Street – 1-3 counties (exclusively in the “Blue States” of NY, NJ, and to a lesser degree even CT.)
   • Social Oligarchy of Hedge Fund Connecticut – 1-2 counties
   • Social Oligarchy of the West Coast (Hollywood and Entertainment Industry and Silicon Valley and other High Technology Concentrations) – 3 counties and surrounding areas (all in the “Blue States” of Washington and especially California)
   • Social Oligarchy of Washington Politics – 4-6 counties around Washington, D.C.  (exclusively in the “Blue States” of Virginia and Maryland and “D.C.”)
2. A Clarification of the Component Parts of the Social Oligarchy of Washington Politics 
   • This Social Oligarchy can be described in two very different ways.  The “Services” that are sold for high and unregulated fees by “Consultants” are as varied as the very Professional Careers that provide the personal wealth and social status to enable an individual professional to move up the ever-competitive Social Status Competition within the Washington Social Oligarchy.
   • There is always personal competition to move ‘up,’ or move a rival (i.e., someone else) ‘down,’ in every Social Oligarchy.  (Such competition is usually performed largely in secret.)  You certainly do not move ‘up’ by violating Social Taboos.  But you can move ‘up’ when you succeed in moving an opponent ‘down’ by successfully representing said opponent as just such a Violator of Social Taboos.  (You know, “Impiety” to Socrates or “Blasphemy” or “Heresy” to Galileo or Giordano Bruno.)
   • The 2 basic ‘Services’ sold by the Washington Political Professional Class Businesses involve BIG GOVERNMENT.  One is to facilitate the Election victories of the Political and related customers.  And the other is to either Advance or Defend the parochial interests of the other kind of paying customers (not limited to American citizens or American Businesses).
   • Regular everyday common citizens can wait on government lines forever because they cannot afford to pay for the ‘special assistance’ of such NOBLE PROFESSIONS as:  Lobbyists, or Lawyers, or Public Relations Spokesmen, or Professional Political Advertisers, or Authorized Representatives, or Scientific Researchers (Psychological or Sociological or Political or Economic – all with Prestige University affiliations) not limited to political polling and ‘Focus Group’ identification of emotively powerful rhetorical Talking-Points and Sound-Bites.  The Bullshit Professions are all well-paying, totally unregulated in fee structure and totally unregulated in legal liability.  Common citizens should be so fortunate!  They even have Speaker Agencies to arrange 6- and 7-figure Honorariums for PC celebrities, not just in America but overseas as well.  (I think Saudi Arabia, 30 or more years ago, provided the first 6-figure venue for such purchasing of influence.)
3. In 2012 Barack Hussein Obama raised a personal ‘war chest’ of $1.1 billion for his personally-controlled reelection campaign (preponderantly from the above Social Oligarchies).
4. The only financial industry executives who have gone to jail during the Clinton Administration and the Obama Administration were fools who left a prosecutable evidentiary audit-trail of information, especially emails.  (The frauds of Enron and the Savings and Loan scandals were prosecuted and jailed during two Bush Administrations.  Seems backward, doesn’t it?)

III.  The America that is NOT Super Wealthy

1. The average American citizen is no better off (and, in many cases, worse off) than he was 25 years ago.
2. The average college graduate today has a $32,000 debt and no marketable skills and is resigned to move back into his parents’ house.
3. The last one to two generations are the first since WW II, and perhaps even in American history, where average citizens are faring worse than their parents.

IV.  Hillary Clinton

[Philosophically-Rooted True Beliefs that Inform and Motivate]

1. Strategic governing requires both a public position and a private position.  The common citizen is too naive or too gullible or too weak-willed or too stupid to be told how political deals are arrived at in private.  This is why, in American political history, politics is metaphorically described as ‘like sausage-making.’
2. If Barack Hussein Obama required a mere $1.1 billion from donors to ensure his reelection (not including separate Super-PAC spending), then inflation will require a higher amount for my election.  I need your  help and the help of all the rest of the ‘sensitive and sharing and caring and compassionate’ members of the Elites.
3. Like President Obama, President Hillary Clinton will require the assistance of our Elites to save the planet from Man-Made Catastrophic Climate Change.  This will be the highest international priority of my Administration.  We will require more than the annual Davos international economic symposium and regular United Nations emphasis.  We shall require more and more of international entertainment industry celebrities to fly all around the world to publicize their endorsement of this Moral Crusade.  To be significantly reduced, the consumption of fossil fuels by the profligate millions requires the leadership of the Elites.  Of course, this will require these special individuals to fly around the world in their private jets in order to efficiently educate the masses who need leadership to accept this diminution of their comfort and standard of living.  How the millions live adds up.  How the Elites live when they lead the masses causes a trivial change to the consumption of the planet Earth’s limited resources.  You know, a public position and a private position.
4. I can say to each and every member of all of my Big Donor Fund-Raising gatherings the exact same Sincere Promise.  Whether to those in the “Blue State” Entertainment World Elite or the “Blue State” High Technology World Elite or the “Blue State” Finance Industry World Elite or the “Blue State” Washington D.C. Political Elites – the message never changes.  It is the message of  our great Democrat Party and its last two 2-term elected Presidents:

I HAVE GOT YOUR BACK!!!
