*  She has a point. The $900+ million they're coordinating on this election cycle could have been used to alleviate a lot of suffering in this world. But, I don't know, maybe they think people who aren't born into wealth or don't know how to pull strings should just be doomed to suffer whatever fate has in store for them.
*  They back who they think will win, don't fool yourself, if Bernie was the clear likely winner, they'd find a way to send him money. It's all they know.

Clinton Calls Koch Brothers 'Some Of The Biggest Deck Stackers You Can Find'
By Tierney Sneed, November 6, 2015

Democratic 2016 frontrunner Hillary Clinton used a question about Wall Street at Friday's MSNBC Democratic Candidates Forum to call the Koch brothers "some of the biggest deck stackers you can find."

"They are protecting their corporate interest, the fossil fuel industry. They're protecting the continuation of pumping carbon into the atmosphere," she said.

Host Rachel Maddow had asked Clinton about her relationship with Wall Street. She defended her record, pointing to her call for the end of a special tax break for hedge fund managers.

"I think it's a bigger issue. I do think people rightly believed that corporations and the powerful have stacked the deck in their favor and against everyone else," she said. "That's not just what happens on Wall Street. The Koch brothers are some of the biggest deck stackers you can find. And that has nothing to do about the financial market."
