When Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton promised to "put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business" she was echoing the words of candidate Obama back in 2008 when he made a similar campaign promise to 'bankrupt the coal industry and force energy prices to sky rocket'.
The coal mining industry and their close knit communities epitomize the working class so the threats by Obama and Clinton to throw them on the scrapheap is not only a clear demonstration of their cold hearted callousness but it should put paid once and for all the myth that the Democratic Party is the party of the working class.
The political elite of both the Democratic and Republican parties - their equivalent are the Labour and Conservative parties in Great Britain - all use the electioneering slogan 'hard working people' or the more emotive 'hard working families' as if they are the sole custodians of their interests and well-being.
Their actions prove otherwise; the only things they are custodians of are their own self interests, their own well-being along with the interests of their lobbyists, donors and cronies who act on behalf of the UN/EU.
